  It was changed by executive order, which the president has the authority to do. Google doesn’t get to go “nuh-uh” and keep it the same.

    I was unaware that the executive branch encompassed the entirety of the government. Please, do elaborate.

      If you want to know more about how the US government works, I’m not the person to educate you.

        Then why are you here trying to tell people that one asshole with an opinion is the government?

        Clearly, since you think an executive order is a law.

      Because Google is a US company, and not in a position to tell the US government to take a walk, that’s why.

        I mean, they are to an extent. The laws of the US are ostensibly supposed to allow citizens to call things whatever they want. If the government wants to throw a hissy fit and say the constitution is meaningless after all, let them do it. At least then we could give up all of the pretense that they are supposed to care about what it says.

    Executive orders are not laws. You do know that, right?
