It's not google's fault. It was told to do so and has. Does anyone seriously expect them not to have done this?
Every American company, or company doing business in America, needs to toe the line of an unpredictable and vindictive president, especially one as fat and tempting as Google.
Now there'll be a disconnect in mapping between what some sources say and what others do, but anyone with a little history knowledge knows this isn't the first time.
The renaming only applies to US federal agencies. Google is (supposedly) not a federal agency, so yes, it is their fault.
Something adjacent to degoogling: I am concerned that Microsoft would collaborate with the Trump Regime. I never used Linux before, but I am now downloading Ubuntu. It feels like that I should do a dual-boot setup and get ready to abandon Windows if I hear about MS HQ in Washington having a DOGE presence.
Here's hoping that Europe and the Blue States are watching Microsoft for anything weird.
Yes, Microsoft has no qualms about bending to governments, same with all other corporations.
Just checked. You can even select it, but cannot report an error at that location. But you can leave reviews, so…
I just did literally the only thing I CAN do, which is rate it 1 star and call out their spinelessness. I'm sure this token, irrelevant act will be ignored at best or manually removed at worst. But until they drag me off to the gulag I'm absolutely not going to shut up and play along.
Fuck Trump, Musk, their MAGA cult, and anyone who enables or colludes with them or fails to fight back.
I guess I can live with calling it "Gulf of America" if we also rename "Gulf of California" to "Gulf of Mexico"
Hahaha I thought Google was benevolently collecting my personal data for my own good. I consented right? /s
I'm trying to, but Proton made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Now I have the option to do everything I was doing, but poorly AND spread across 3 vendors.
Organic Maps is still keeping it real for me
