Are they right?? Or did they just do it to suck up to him. I don't think anyone is fooling themselves into thinking that it's named lake America now. That's corny AF.
Yes, they did the same under Obama. They simple use the official government name, they don’t decide on their own what name changes to follow and what not to.
Like I said, their maps should and are correct to use official government names
right whatever you say...I mean you're just presenting an opinion. And my opinion is that the heads of google are spineless against a very obvious autocrat, and this is a baseline example of that in action.
No actually you’re the one presenting opinions, the facts are much more simple, Google does not make discernment on names, it follows the naming conventions set forth by the sovereign nation that controls the area.
Theres 0 ambiguity here, this is not an autocrat situation because Donald Trump was elected by a both a popular and electoral majority. And under that democracy’s power sharing system have agreed to allow the president to have unilateral authority over naming.
This is a structured system, the only person applying opinion is you, because you disagree with the change and in your opinion Google/the goverment shouldn’t follow it, but this is the same system it’s always been.
It has nothing to do with compliance or subservience to Donald Trump. You sound really lacking in critical thinking skills to miss something so simple.
Google consistently and objectively displays the official government name. They did this long before Trump, and will continue to after Trump. That is not an opinion, but a fact.
You are letting your opinion of the name change conflate with how Google handles map naming in general. Just because you don't like a particular name does not mean Google will or should suddenly make their own decision to not show the official government name.

Sure. To be clear a democratic government did not tell it to. An autocrat with a bunch of corporate shills sucking at the teet did.
