Lad. Google has always done this.
You access Google maps from different locations and you'll see names and border changes.
Because, and this might surprise a sheltered yanks such as yourself. There's a whole world outside your borders, and different cultures call different locations different names.
You guys have got way bigger fish to fry than this.
Live in the south Bud, your yank shit can go out the window. We have bigger fish to fry than the worlds largest company that influences elections and controls our data and produces algorithm's to ensure our behavior?
The point is Google has always done this shit, just because someones been pissing in your cornflakes every morning doesn't mean you can't get upset when they eat asparagus. Or better yet, maybe care they're pissing in your shit to begin with?
It's not about "bigger fish to fry", ain't no one frying fish in this fucker. We're just talking and spreading awareness, idk wtf you're doing here besides complaining about people being aware (this is a degoogle community after all).
And there's way more important thing to complain about when it comes to Google then something as routine as this.
The only thing you are spreading awareness about, is how sheltered you are.
This same thing has been done for the Persian/Arabian Gulf, something that I can't help be suspicious that it's never been brought up.
Holy hell, talk about projection with your sheltered remarks. Did you try searching for persian arabian gulf before commenting? "I haven't seen anyone complaining about one thing, so no one should be complaining about this thing." You're seriously saying this?
"I deem anyone not agreeing with me as a sheltered yank, I am definitely not a sheltered southerner with a bias"
I wish I could actually add anything to this conversation but your last response was just a "nuh uh!" with more insults sprinkled in (I guess to make you feel better about yourself? how's that going?). You've wasted time proclaiming this is a waste of time. Glad you got bigger fish to fry, can't wait for what great subject we should be focusing on with our comments.
I guess everyone would benefit from seeing your comment history and all the great fish frying you're doing. Us plebs talking about such mundane things is such a waste since you've highlighted it for the community. I imagine there's a whole plethora of comments you made about Google that will help lead us into a better future.
Typical sheltered yank. Only complaining when something affects you.
Something actually relevant to Google? And not standard operating procedure.
I would hate to see what would happen when you learn about how Google maps handles all the disputed borders in the world.
We can't actually talk about how they do the disputed borders, that would be standard operating procedure so it's off the table now. Got any actual ideas? I'm just hearing some floundering over there, you haven't brought anything of substance yet besides removed about the post.
Either way, keep replying. Every response helps promote this post and keeps it on the active list.
Imagine missing the point this badly.
I suppose those atrophied braincells aren't used to thinking about a subject passed the surface level. I mean you've already forgotten about the Arabian/Persian gulf.
I'll try and spell it out for you then.
This is nothing more than a distraction to give you bleeding hearts a carrot to chase. And the way Google has handled this is no different than anywhere else in the world. You just didn't care because it didn't affect YOU, and only affects those you barely give a second thought about.
You keep making these imaginative narratives,
Cool story, no one cares about your pathetic shit or whatever kind of world renowned, holier than thou, kinda attitude you're failing to pull off. Keep spouting perceived nonsense though, you're really enlightening me and blowing my mind here.
"Wah! no one's talking about what I want to talk about in this post :'(((" Go make a fucking post lol, no one's stopping you and maybe you can stop removed about what everyone else is doing.
