Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. - Ponder.cat

> The president of Mexico on Thursday expressed hope that Google “reconsiders” its decision to change its online maps to reflect U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he has the authority to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. > > Shortly after taking office, Trump issued an executive order announcing he was changing the name of the body of water to the Gulf of America. > > For U.S. users of Google Maps, the gulf was listed as the Gulf of America as of Thursday. Google, whose CEO attended Trump’s inauguration along with other tech moguls, said last month it has “a long-standing practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.” > > But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday that her government “will file a civil suit” against Google if it does not revert back to labeling the international body of water the Gulf of Mexico.

Google are an American company, and the government of the USA has changed the name. What else do people expect them to do?

Besides, it still say Gulf of Mexico if you’re outside the USA.

the government of the USA has changed the name

When did they do that?

Or are you one of those people who would agree if Trump said “I am the state”?

It was changed by executive order, which the president has the authority to do. Google doesn’t get to go “nuh-uh” and keep it the same.
I was unaware that the executive branch encompassed the entirety of the government. Please, do elaborate.
If you want to know more about how the US government works, I’m not the person to educate you.
Then why are you here trying to tell people that one asshole with an opinion is the government?
You can argue with strangers on the Internet as much as you like, but the fact is, the US president can and has changed the name of multiple geographic features, and arguing with me won’t change that.

Oh, you’ve been caught being dumb and your story is changing.

First it was “the government”, now it’s “the president”.

That’s not how America works, lol. Naming things is a legislative responsibility. Trump can sign as many executive orders as he wants, but it isn’t official without an act of congress and a chance for the judiciary to object.

The president is part of the government, they’re not two separate entities.

And once again, there is nothing to be gained by arguing with me about this.

You underestimate how much I enjoy arguing with people on the internet, lol.

So is this your admission that your earlier statement was false, or are ypu still pretending that “part of” is the same thing as “all”?

He’s the part of the government that has the power to unilaterally change the name of a location.
Kim Jung Un you mean?
