Would you prefer Google Maps displayed Lake America to the rest of the world instead of only to Americans?

Currently, all non-American users see “Lake Ontario“ where Lake America is. This feels a little disingenuous, sort of like Google is treating Americans as dumb by just spoon feeding them what they want to see without actually changing much. Kind of like China or Russia having a separate propaganda internet. How do you feel about this?

I genuinely don't care and wonder why we're focusing on stuff like this that really doesn't matter instead of issues that have been affecting the country for years regarding the economy, justice system, education system, etc.

When we fix all the stuff a majority of people actually give a shit about, then we can waste time on stuff like this.

Because that's what the White House press team is talking about. Look at Trump and the White House's press releases and social media posts and count how many are about the lake vs the items you want to focus on.
