    Incredible that anyone wants to work for such Pscho corporations. They must be incredibly ignorant outside their job-function - I hope…

    Fucking boo.

    Also, and this is weird, mine shows Lake America at one level of zoom, then changes back to Lake Ontario, and then changes to Lake America all over again at an even closer level of zoom. Everything is ridiculous and awful.

      Not even a bit of pushback. Dead silence from a them, just straight up compliance.

        It’s almost as if Alphabet/Google and the tyrant oligarchs are one and the same. That would be preposterous, though, right?

          Probably. Didn’t a Google engineer recently get arrested for insider trading, but got off on a technicality? Something like that.

    Everyone should just report the error to Google over and over and over again. Remind them that the federal government doesn’t actually have unilateral authority to rename major international geographic features on the whim of a single deranged despot.

      A lot of people sent edits through to google over the Gulf of Mexico ‘change’. I believe they eventually removed the ability to edit it? (I no longer use google and it was a while ago now)

      Google has shown local variations to borders etc. for… decades? They do not define them, after all.
