So…yup, apparently Apple caved.

Interestingly, _both_ names are currently showing for me in Apple Maps right now. Caching problem? Or maybe an attempt to list both names?

Regardless: if they crumple over this, do you really trust the company to protect your private data if the Trump admin comes calling for something worse than a stupid geographic feature renaming?

[NB: This is a rhetorical question and does not require your personal answer in the replies]

 User privacy protection starts from the spine.

@inthehands I found this discussion page at OpenStreetMap interesting, offering transparency into the decision making process not visible at Apple or Google https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/lake-ontario-lake-america/146975
