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.
You don’t have to explain yourself, I was just poking fun at the discrepancy of “no time for a stroll” and a rather prolific online activity, because a stroll in my definition is also not super time consuming.
Sorry if I was overstepping or being insulting there, that wasn’t my intention. Just wanted to make some fun of it. I usually appreciate a lot of your input and posts.
Ok, sorry. A couple of other people are legitimately giving me shit for it as if I’m not allowed to take breaks, so I was already a bit flustered.
I feel you, I had that happen once or twice myself. Reading back I understand how you got there, I phrased it rather aggressively .
