Given all their data collection can’t they just show that to MAGA gang? And maybe limit it to US IPs while they’re at it… Everyone gets what they want!

Everyone gets what they want!
- wmf 2y agoGoogle has been showing different maps to different IPs for years, especially around disputed borders.
- ceejayoz 2y agoThey are, kinda. > Google added that the Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.
- zzleeper 2y agoThis is crazy. Why would Spain or Colombia have to see Gulf of USA together with the actual name?
- scarab92 2y agoGoogle uses the official place names of the user’s country. If the governments of Spain or Columbia want to opine on what it should be called, I’m sure Google would adopt it for their citizens
- Jensson 2y agoIts Gulf of America, the continent, not USA. Gulf of USA would be silly. Anyway, the silly part here is that USA calls themselves America, while Mexico and Canada are just as American.
- rich_sasha 2y agoI find "United States" a bit weird too, since the official name of Mexico is "United States of Mexico". So there are two "United States" in North America!
- drewcoo 2y agoshouldn't "The Gulf of America" extend from at least Long Island Sound down to somewhere in Argentina? Both contents have catcher's stances toward the east. Toward the Europe.
- scarab92 2y agoThe left have been pressuring companies to adopt all sorts of ideological partisan positions for years, so it’s a bit hypocritical to expect companies to ignore the government now that the tide has turned.

- gibbitz 2y agoMc Donald's still doesn't call them Freedom Fries. I suppose that's the left's fault, not because that was a stupid idea. What is it about Trump that makes us forget what stupid is?
- scarab92 2y agoMany of the left’s ideas look just as silly to the right, as some of the right’s ideas look to you. It’s double standard to insist that your ideological positions should be respected but others shouldn’t.
- elaus 2y ago> it’s a bit hypocritical to expect companies to ignore the government now Not an American, but my impression has always been that the right expected companies to ignore "ideological partisan positions" as well when they came from the left? So it seems fair that the roles are reversed now: the right is pushing for positions and the left wants companies not to follow.
