  • have your husband remove the feature. explain all the downsides like how it affects your work and social life to not be able to add contacts.

    if he refuses, as the rest of the comments point out, you may be in an abusive relationship. a marriage is built on trust. would he accept you locking down his phone the same way?

    otherwise, maybe go pick up a burner phone from walmart or something.











  • yes, i agree. but look at the link i posted. they still show it as gulf of mexico if you’re in mexico accessing maps.

    my point is more that the US has changed the name of the gulf in the US. it is very stupid and meaningless, but it is still officially renamed.

    if i look at japan in google maps it says japan, not nipon. why? because that’s what we call it here. i personally think thats dumb too. we should call countries things by their real names. deutschland, bharat, suomi, etc

    nevertheless the gulf is called the gulf of america here, no matter how dumb that is.

    i seriously doubt google, who is under active investigation for monopoly and being threatened to be broken up, AND, recently lifted its ban on using its ai in weapons, is interested in keeping the old name of the gulf in protest against trump.

    again, i think this entire situation is stupid, and would prefer everyone call it the gulf of mexico, but i also don’t think google specifically is doing anything wrong in this specific instance. google is doing plenty else wrong that matters much more.
