- vetinari 12y agoGoogle does exactly the same thing. Currently I'm in a country that didn't recognize Kosovo independence and Google shows it as disputed territory, otherwise part of Serbia. Exactly the same way for Crimea and Ukraine. It is neither of these companies job to take sides. The simplest way is to show to each party what they want to see.
- dreamweapon 12y agoGoogle apparently shows Kosovo as a disputed region in the U.S., as well (demarcated by a dashed, rather than by a solid line). Ditto for the Crimea.
- mikeash 12y agoMaybe if they had balls they'd show it as belonging to Russia on both maps. Why assume they'd be on your side?
- dreamweapon 12y agoSilently legitimizing the gains made in a war of naked territorial aggression (in order to maintain market share, most likely) doesn't require a lot of balls, in my book.
