If you can get the USGS to change the names in the GNIS database, which is what Trump did, anyone using that database, like Google does, will change the names.

I have now deleted the Google Maps app from my phone, maybe the first time since 2012 that I didn't have it installed. I installed MapQuest in its place.

I wonder if Trump were to rename Earth "Trumptopia" whether Google would go along with that on their maps as well.

Oh lort! I have actually asked Jeeves.

All because the U.S. President is in a snit.

In fact, I‘m certain you could have even more votes, if you jumped into the pool with your clothes on the next time you have your business suit on and your kid wants you to go swimming with him!

I knew there was a reason I never used Google!

Dear America. We are not stuck with this. Never forget that “we the people” CONSENT to being governed. Our consent is CONDITIONAL and can be REVOKED. It wouldn’t be the first time.. We can undo ALL of this. “They” want you to think nothing can be changed so you shut up and stay out of the way.

Google swallows where wise techs fear to suck.

Go into Google Maps under your profile picture . You can make comments under "feedback"

he has to fuck something up or else his bullshit will catch up with him

They want your feedback! support.google.com/maps/answer/...

And in Argentina, it shows Malvinas. In Saudi Arabia, it shows Al Quds,... In Germany, the country is called Deutschland...

Who paid them??

I'm saying that Google might be first but the main map apps all caved eventually for the Gulf of Mexico renaming.

Well, they went right along with the idiotic Gulf of Mexico name change 🤷‍♂️

Gave up on Don't Be Evil long ago, now we'll settle for Don't Be A Fucking Idiot

This made me lol.

In a better world our citizens would be much, much better informed and organized to push back against this bullshit. Who knows what to boycott, cancel, or unsubscribe Monday morning? I'd do it.

Maybe we can get a sponsorship deal for the reflecting pool.

lake google = wankers

How about Lake Tiananmen Square? Hurt those companies' standing in China.

Nevermind, I found an instance of Google overriding USGS data. This one right here!

Something like this should be the new Google Doodle, every day, except Trump on a pedestal raping a 13-year-old. 2025: "Famed Washington Post cartoonist quits after Jeff Bezos sketch blocked" www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Name everything "Trump is a Pedophile who is adored by Picai".

Tax all these tech fuckers at 96% and their companies at over 50%. They only care about money, there is nothing good or decent about any of them.

Picai sent to the back of the room? Vance loved Charlie Kirk. "America is full; no space for Indians, Charlie Kirk said" timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/ame... www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/meta-and-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-ceo-of-google-sundar-news-photo/2194892142?adppopup=true

Deleting Google Maps is so easy. There so many other mapapps to chose from. And don’t forget paper maps!

The actress who played Ugly Betty, her first name is America.

Oh, piss off.

If there a place to report corrections? I propose we flood it (sorry)

DuckDuckGocean was right there

Sure, let’s trust the company that has given millions to Trump to be honest about this. Here is one of Trump’s sycophants claiming the administration has personally reached out to Apple to make the change. So again, people don’t have to keep defending Google. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The time to not blame them was when "Gulf of America" happened. They've had over a year to adapt to the fact that the integrity of the GNIS has been destroyed by a president using it to troll.

Don’t forget Lake Hooli!
