Why are Americans so riled up about this?
Do you guys not realize that this reaction is literally one of the reasons they do this? To be a distraction and to show their base that they made the bad people™ cry about it.
Why are Americans so riled up about this?
For me, it’s the blatant racism with some fascist nationalism thrown in.
Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.
This really is the dumbest timeline. I can’t even make up satire shit that is more wild than what is now.
It’s like the shitpost version of blitzkrieg. Just overwhelming you with absolute diarrhea for the soul. And it’s working, even though we all know it’s happening.
Today I’ve officially made organic maps my primary. I’m gonna try to make it work.
Tim Apple is a pussy bitch.
It doesn’t for me that’s weird.
Edit: if you put a pin it does show America
I’m gonna put a pin in this, but I’ll come back to it later
Apple has been suppressing the resistance in russia. They dont give a fuck about freedom or democracy. It’s naive to think theyll do anything but enable trumps takeover
Of course not. They’re a corporation. We like to think they’re perhaps less evil than others, but the truth is they would harvest their users internal organs if they thought it would increase shareholder value.
Fuck Capitalism.
We’ve known since the beginning their products are made off the suffering of slave labor. Them being evil isn’t new whatsoever.
Tim Apple is literally a financial contributer to the Trump presidency. They are not being shy about their support. I’m Suprised it took them this long, but they’ve always been a bit behind with their maps project.
Well, yeah, because the United States Geographical Service is the source of truth for geographical names. No surprise Google and Apple follow it. There’s a little more breakdown than that, but that’s the gist of it.

The change is fucking stupid, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Save your fucking ire for all the real shit going down. In comparison, this doesn’t rate a single breath.
This is correct, given a new administration can simply change it back to keep it in line with the rest of the world. Won’t do us much good if there isn’t a next administration, though.
Did my part
Me too!
Same
Oh wtf apple
Still says Gulf of Mexico to me. Is the change just for American users then?
In the UK, it says both. One above the other.
Spineless and pathetic.
I’m in the UK. Just says Gulf of Mexico for me, even when I select it.
I’m an American and it still says the proper name for me too.
For me it shows Golf of Mexico until I zoom in.
Lmao its apple map alright
Now it just shows Golf of America for me. Seems to have been caused by the live rollout.
Seems like it. Still Gulf of Mexico on my end.
In my view, the only ones that really care are the people whose opinions don’t matter. The Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico, regardless of what it may legally be called. Much the same way, in my view, X will always be Twitter, And Zuckerberg will always be POS.
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don’t give a shit who thinks it should change, I’ll use the original names forever
True, for me America is and has always been Wankistan
I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.
The one group that does understand class solidarity are the wealthy. They’re not bowing to him because they’re all in sync.
I wish this was the in top 10 reasons to be upset with the US right now.
Well seeing as how Tim was right up there next to Sundar I’m not the least bit surprised.
Unlike Google they still have a “report issue” button active.
And I will continue to use it until they take it away
