  • And every other mapping source out there that currently still labels it Gulf of Mexico will eventually change it to Gulf of America because that’s what it is recognized by the federal government.

    The US government doesn’t control map charts for the world. The Gulf of Mexico is International water, the US only controls a part of it. Even then, that executive order didn’t have that kind of power in itself, google is gladly enabling this shit because it’s in their best interest to stay as close to the other oligarchs.

    And its not just this, if you think people are De-googling just because they made that change, you’re not looking at the big picture.

    Do you actually believe that Google has not been providing data to the government since the beginning?

    I knew it was happening to some extent but the impact it had on my life was minimal… Now the US government is at war with people like me, it is simply normal that I yeet anything that’s linked to those efforts and that I stop using services from mega corporations that will work with Trump to make all of his insane agenda come true.

    You act like people are overreacting but the truth is we should have done this years ago.

    Plus I’m not from the US so at this point and with Google being so close to Trump I trust them as much as I trust Tencent with my data, which is to say not at all.





  • Because supporting the US economy from outside of it right now is ludicrous and Amazon is a union busting mega corporation that destroy local economies…

    Now, I’m not a Kobo corporate shill, I don’t care which device you get, I did say there are other ereaders you can get, pick whatever you want. You don’t care about thr trade wars, you can get a Nook or Remarkable. You care but don’t like Kobo? You can buy an Onyx or another Chinese brand. You can use your phone, an old tablet whatever you want.

    Personally, I’ve never not found a book on kobo but if it happened and it wasn’t at my library, I’d find alternative to buying on amazon, I’d get it physical or find other ways to get it.

    You want to continue using amazon products and contribute to the success of Bezos and his billionaire friends, that’s your prerogative but a lot of us are not ready to do that for the sole sake of minor convenience.
