  if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.

  Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa

  Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you’re watching are terrible.

  Forcing your way into Google to have “government techs” change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to “force” Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.

    We’ll see who’s laughing after the government breaks through all of Google’s firewalls and hacks their mainframe!
    They’re gonna need a lot of cyber-tape if they want any chance of stopping all the data from spilling through their firewalls.
    And who knows how google would handle a cyber-nuke.

  Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise (“map pack” “local SEO” and brand tie-ins)…
