It's interesting that Google's compliance with non-law government directives regarding the names of bodies of water is so blazingly fast, because, they say, it's their responsibility under the law and they're just following orders...

Google is gonzo for me. Finally ditched it today. Fuck them.

@divVerent @tknarr @cliffle The German government also runs a place name system (BKG). Does it choose a different name that Maps ignores? If so, that might be worth complaining about.
My point is really that people should first learn how the systems work before posting rants about them.

@cliffle it’s interesting how clueless you are …

I checked from Ontario today, and it's still Lake Ontario.
Google announced that within the US it won't be shown as Lake Ontario however.
@maya_b @antopatriarca @cliffle what about the Gulf of Mexico, do you see it as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" or just one of them? Asking because I'd expect they do the same with the Lake at some point

@cliffle It definitely speaks loudly but unfortunately not enough. I would hope it helps wake up some people around me, but knowing their "It does not effect me" attitude - I doubt it.

@cliffle Executive orders are not laws.

@antopatriarca @maya_b @cliffle Germany sees "Lake Ontario (Lake America)". Not sure which other countries are affected how.
I presume it will be consistent with the Gulf of Mexico.
@divVerent @antopatriarca @maya_b @cliffle Same for Poland.

@cliffle Tells me that they see themselves as a part of the US government.
After letting that sink in for a bit, things they do/did now start to make a whole lot more sense.
