Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 days agoShowing with both names does not make it any better and I’m not sure why you think it does. They’re just kowtowing to a unilateral decision made by one of the multiple countries that border the Gulf of Mexico.
I assume you would not want Taiwan to be called Chinese Taipei on Google Maps.

Woah, who said I’m fine with that? I’m Mexican and very much resent the idiocy of Trump, but our president is also an idiot who “threatens” to do something, but can assure you she will not actually do anything.
IMO she’s posturing to her base, but she says she might go against Google because she doesn’t dare to go against Trump, and she needs to look like she’s doing something.
Meanwhile, we have very urgent problems in Mexico like rampant crime, medicine scarcity, corruption, etc. that she doesn’t even mention in her daily morning speeches.
