       Google escalates its quisling ways. Contemptible. https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/maps/gnis-lake-ontario-lake-america-name-change

       @dangillmor why....? He literally has no authority over this.

       @dangillmor Where does it end?  Will he rename states that he doesn't like?  Will he rename cities?  I guess EO means Easily Offended for TACO.

       @dangillmor it would be mildly interesting to see what would happen at Google if the Canadians rename one of the three other Great Lakes they share with the Americans. (And let's see DJT react to Lake Superior being renamed Lake Obama)

       @dangillmor so now any ruler anywhere can arbitrarily decide to rename landmarks that have had names for hundreds of years. I see chaos ahead. Wars could be interesting with some places just having different names too.

       @dangillmor and Apple Maps will soon follow suit. But @openstreetmap still displays Gulf of Mexico and doesn’t bend the knee to this bullshit.

       @dangillmor My question is, since a border runs through the middle, why wouldn’t the the top half on maps continue to be Lake Ontario, and the bottom half carry the new name (if it’s legal)?
