Summary
Google Maps has blocked reviews for the Gulf of Mexico after backlash over renaming it “Gulf of America” for U.S. users, following a Trump executive order.
Critics accused Google of censorship after it removed negative reviews. Google defended the move, citing policies against off-topic content.
Mexico’s President Sheinbaum opposed the change and may take legal action. Apple Maps also adopted the new name.
The controversy adds to concerns over tech companies aligning with Trump, following Meta’s rollback of fact-checking and diversity initiatives.
Mmmmm tasty cherries you’ve plucked there. Here are some from me.
These are all one after the other mind you, no creative editing required
This was your lie:
So thank you for proving that you were lying with those screenshots which show me not doing that.
That’s what you were trying to prove, right?
Holy shit have you literally never heard of hyperbole? Shall we scour your comments for similar incidents where we obviously should not take you literally?
Like my god dude you are ridiculous. You are a living, breathing caricature of the internet contrarian.
“That thing I said that wasn’t true isn’t a lie” is not the defense you seem to think it is.
And if I’m so horrible, feel free to block me. You won’t, because then you wouldn’t get to tell silly lies about me. But please do feel free to prove me wrong.
Lmfao you’re unbelievable
Cool. Then block me. But you won’t because then who would you regularly insult and lie about?
👍
Called it.
I’ll just be reporting you for harassment and trolling when you respond to me in threads from now on. And, of course, violating the civility rule that is in every single community.
Dude you’re in every fucking thread you’re just going to report me because you don’t like the tenor of the conversations you deliberately ratchet up time and time again?
I’m happy to admit this is petty at this point and I’m not proud of the behavior. I’m feeling petty and you’re being petty back so it’s pretty shitty cycle. I’m also happy to back off and try a more polite approach, bury the hatchet and all that. But I legitimately do not know if you’re capable of responding in kind. Guess we can see though.
