Google takes their place name data from the relevant country's official government sources. That source data changed. This is exactly like when the previous administration renamed Mt McKinley to Denali.

They don't have to do that, especially when the change is clearly for white supremacy purposes (like Denali being given its colonial name back). It's their choice to be bootlickers.
