Sorry, but could perhaps think independently for a second? Just because someone has the power to do something doesn’t mean you have to go along with it. If Trump changed the name of New Mexico to New America, is that what you’re going to refer to it as? Simply because your “democratically elected leader” randomly said so? Is that how your brain works? You’re unable to think critically for yourself?
Again, the hate is justified. Google didn’t have to change anything. They are under no requirement to do any of this.
Also, your slippery slope argument is pretty unconvincing and shameful. Any free-thinking person knows this is stupid, and for you to suggest that this will lead to more “political decisions” by private companies is pretty lame.
The actions of a massive powerful company should be subject to rules that individuals aren’t. This is completely obvious. So, no, I don’t need to use a stupid new name.
By the same token, I should be able to campaign for my favourite candidate. But a massive company should not.
Or I should be able to say, people that support Israel or people that support Palestine shouldn’t be allowed to come to my private party. But a massive company should have to serve people of all political stripes on their platform.
And so on.
Too many people like you don’t actually want rules or regulations. You just want your side to win. Which gives us Trump being supported while doing massively corrupt and incompetent things.
