I'll keep an eye out for a firefox plugin to change it back.

Mexico should rename Baja California to Península Pacífica.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That doesn't make much sense, since Baja California was named California before the US-State which even belonged to Mexico back in the days.

If anything Trump is going to change California to Ivankia or Putinstan, but I guess at that point California will rather rejoin Mexico.

How do people not understand that Google Maps is regional, and the region sees their official government-endorsed maps?

Why would google, a company of such unfathomable power and reach, be fearful of Trump? They can say no and it won't affect their bottomline much.

Google, or rather Alphabet, is an American company. Trump is the president of America, the most powerful country militarily and economically. Alphabet is also subject to American laws and is currently under an anti-trust lawsuit with America. What makes you think Google can stand up against the US?
