And yet he does with no consequences because of the Republican administration (and frankly, the non-progressive Democrats). It’s not Google’s job to be a check on the government. If the US government department that manages natural landmark names has that set in their records, that’s what should be reported.
So your entire point is discredited and all you can do is point fingers. By having even an ounce of self respect and just saying no would help end all this. Google and Apple are not beholden to this administration unless they want to be.
By your logic we should all load ourselves onto the trains willingly because they said so and, after all, we don’t want to get “political”
The real solution is to resist and not roll over.
Pretending that act is anything other than resignation is denying the truth of what is happening.
What are you talking about? I said that google should show what is fact, not their opinion. Pretending the US’s official name for the body of water is the gulf of Mexico is denying the truth of what is happening. Other people outside the US report that the gulf hasn’t been renamed for their location, this is a US problem.
You’re fighting the wrong enemy. Google is correct to use things officially published as fact - they are not the problem.
The problem is Trump doing things where he doesn’t have authority, the other branches rolling over to let him usurp their Constitutional authority. That’s the problem. That’s what needs to be resisted. If there’s a way to define the locals who have naming priority, they have standing to fight
You’re missing the part where Trump has no authority to do any of that.

Google is wrong here and no one is forcing them to do anything. They are now part of the problem along with anyone else conceding to this madman.
I do agree Aotus is the source, but everyone who goes along with it shares the blame and more importantly the shame.
