A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Could google just have different names depending on the country of origin?
They will. Gulf of America in America. Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. They'll display both names to the rest of us, according to the article.
Imo that last part is the biggest BS. If they wanna show Americans the name given to it by the morons they elected, so be it. But the rest of us shouldn't have to put up with that nonsense.
I think they've done this in the past with things like the border between India and Pakistan being different depending on what country you're looking at it from
