What the fuck is wrong with you?

Dictator, criminal and pervert Trump should also know: “If you are a bad person in this life you are not going to resurrect into the next life.”

Apple maps: so far so good.
(But I’m assuming this will eventually also change)
This image shows a map application interface displaying the Gulf of Mexico region. The map view includes parts of the southern United States (including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida), Mexico's eastern coast, and parts of Central America including Belize and Guatemala. Major cities visible on the map include Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, Mexico City, and Mérida. Below the map are interface elements including what appears to be a location card for "Gulf of Mexico" with buttons for "Indicações" (Portuguese for "Directions") and "Mais" (More). Below these are two preview images: one showing a cityscape with tall buildings reflected in water, and another showing a coastal beach scene with high-rise buildings along the shoreline.

I would have imagined that Google would have the means to limit this alternate name to its users in the United States, and spare the rest of the world from the consequence of our little tantrum.

Okay, unpopular take coming.

Renaming that bit of sea is harmless. It's just a diversion technique to make people angry and to get them to look away from a myriad far worse things The Blob is doing. And people swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Don't fall for it.

@Eetschrijver I agree and I don't take it seriously but I hate the fact that Google does..

It's clearly one of the many diversions indeed so people don't see the ones that have a lot more impact

There's just soooo much

Interestingly the result depends on your IP address. From a US address Google doesn't even mention "Gulf of Mexico" anymore.

Any recommendations for secure and trusted a browser addon which can handle text replacement for cases like this?
