"I'm such a massive lefty, I see no issue with a mega corporation bending the knee to a fascist regime and helping them virtually take over territory that isn't theirs" ๐
(also no, it isn't only showing in the states, and this being an expected part of capitalism doesn't make it any less of a problem to be taken seriously)
What does google have to gain from saying no? A mild recapture of respect from the people with no political power?
Also the territory isn't there's, sure, but it's also no one's. If weird ass trump wants to rename it in their countries name, go for it.
Google shows Gulf of Mexico to Mexico, and both names to every other country.
As Bannon literally pointed out, this is absolutely a Trump tactic, to firehouse the news with bullshit stories, and THIS is comparatively a non issue.
