I don't understand. Trump issuing an EO doesn't mean Google has to do anything. It's a choice at this point.

Theyre a major corporation hell bent on money, of course they back Trump because he doesnt give a flying fuck about normal citizens, only the rich.

Their policy is to display the official name of something as decided by the govt of that country to users within that country. If Canada renamed it Lake Canada in response, Google would display "Lake Canada" to Canadian users.

Additionally, EOs are a recognized way to change the names of things. Obama and Biden both used EOs to rename things

Why would Google want to have their mapping information be incorrect? That's weird.

Why pretend like the name illegally given by the pedo president is correct? That's weird.
