I remember when Google decided to pull out of China rather than submit to the demands of the Chinese government. Those days seem like so long ago.

Very standard. Google does the same thing for all territorial disputes to appease the whims of the powers that be.
They would probably do the same if trump announced that Greenland was magically a part of the US now.

Half the job of a map maker is to figure out correct borders in disputed areas while keeping both sides happy. In the internet age they can do that by simply showing a different map in each country.

Exactly -- the classic example is the northern border of India:
And Google maps does not show: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, House of Ill-repute? And Mark Zukerburd telling everyone he is going to spend $600 billion on AI in the next five years? Google maps will make itself insignificant. ( see my review of the North Atlantic ).

It's so interesting to me that someone who, by their profile, is supposedly the founder of some critical resources, national security, company, spends their time by going on HackerNews and writing shitpost comments about their hate for things/people/companies. Really? That's how you represent yourself online? On an account that you directly link to your company?

Bad tidings: they're building the ballroom too.
I hope his employees will get a paid day off to mourn and mentally recover.

It is a sign of their credibility, and an indication of where your own priorities lie. I do not think this is a good hackernews comment.

Apple Maps still shows Lake Ontario. Google appears to be eager to please Trump in a timely manner.

Apple updates maps slowly. We saw this with Gulf of America. Google Maps just happens to update things faster.

I dont think it is upto Google and/or Apple.
