Some important notes

- Google updated their maps faster than the USGS. https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ shows Lake Ontario

- Google made this decision, there is nothing automated about this

- Apple will do this as well

- Nothing requires either of them to do this.

- This is the same as Cook giving gold to Trump, tech CEOs showing up at the inauguration, ballroom donations etc. That is, simple open bribery.

- While Googlers are probably against this, their opinions are moo (like a cow's opinion). Sergey and Sundar love this.
