Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 week agoThat is not what I asked.
OK, let’s reverse it, and say Mexico renamed the Gulf to something else. What do you think Google should do, inside Mexico and out?

Inside Mexico they should name it whatever the Mexico calls it. Outside Mexico it should be called however it is called in the respective country.
But again, Google is based in the US, all their decisions are made there.

Yeah and its called Gulf of Mexico outside Mexico. Learning is hard
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yes, and in that case Google is taking a political stance by choosing to label “Gulf of America” outside the US.
If Google was based in Mexico and a similar thing happened, people in the US would be utterly outraged over politicizing geography. And it would be quite obvious they are signaling cooperation to the Mexican government.

I’m outside the U.S. and Mexico. This is what I see.

Incidentally, that is also what Mexicans see.
Trump and Google have decided that the whole world has to acknowledge Trump’s unilateral declaration.
