Then report anything and everything on Google services. See a report button, spam it..script it to auto send, flood their shit until they disable everything
I declare that I have the power to name things to whatever I want to and I'm gonna rename "The White House" to "The Angry White's House"
So can a President also change street names?
Knowing how little Trump likes California, he might change names like Hollywood Boulevard, to Asshole Boulevard, Castro Street to Pussy Street.
How the fuck can a President decide on names at all? Is it written somewhere in law or the constitution that he has authority for that?
Can he also rename planets like Mercury to Melania, just because he thinks it's cool?
I know the law isn't intended for a toddler to become president, but really? The president can decide arbitrary shit willy-nilly? that's a recipe for an authoritarian president to abuse it, on top of the political system not being very democratic!! It's like adding toxic to poisonous.
I've been warning against American democracy being dysfunctional for 2 decades now (and UK), and nothing has been done, Americans must have been aware of this for a long time, and yet they've done nothing. Those that claim the American people do not deserve the current administration are wrong IMO, they've accepted this could happen election after election and done NOTHING!!
I hope he renames something to Pussy Street. You know people will eat that up, pun intended
Apple Maps is also now calling it "Gulf of America"
Gulf of Swastika!
Nope. Just took this
Bing did the same thing.
Those fuckers even changed it for Canadian customers.
~~Not wanting to defend google or any of the techbro vehicles, but it’s literally obeying the law in this case~~ Nevermind, I was wrong about the binding quality of an EO on the general public.
This is now on other countries to step up and enforce their nomenclature in accordance with historical use, in order to play this game and make these companies obey domestic requirements.
Imagine living in a year 2025 where some old soggy dipshit indulges in what is effectively larping as an imperialist. Remember those Mujahideen/freedom fighters/terrorists who opposed ‘american imperialism’? Guess they will pull a smug face now.
literally obeying the law in this case.
Yeah, no. That’s not how the law works. This is purely internal Google policy and licking trumps asshole.
The president doesn't create laws.
Imagine being this confidently wrong
Imagine being as ignorant as you
I'll bite - what "law" do you think they're following?
Nevermind. I literally am wrong about how binding an executive order is for a non-government entity.
That's fair - it can be confusing.
No it's not
