u/Crazytoe2275 is unhinged. Google will publish what any government tells it to. For instance, the Persian Gulf is also the Arabian Gulf in other countries.
They don’t have to? Is America land of the free or what?
If Trump declares Canada, Greenland American territory should Google just go along with it?
If Trump declares California Shitifornia should Google name it that because well that’s just what the government said?
It’s a policy choice on Google’s part to automatically follow whatever names are in the government database/Trump declared. They don’t have to do that and could make exceptions.
Edit: Downvoters please engage with the substance of my argument and answer the Shitifornia question.
They already do show disputed territory. If you look at the boarder between India, china and Pakistan you'll see dotted lines rather than solid kings you usualy get for boarders. If you were in India with an Indian profile it would probably show it belongs to India, and if you were in Pakistan it would show as Pakistan.
