The "OMG Apple and Google renamed Lake Ontario in their map apps" discussion is barking at the wrong tree, in my opinion. It's a childish presidential order from a bully. I mainly shrug. This is not a hill I care for and even less am willing to die on. Let's fight the cause, not the symptoms! #UnpopularOpinion I guess.

What worries me far more is the future of DNS and domain names, which ultimately are under US control and with the Trump administration it is being used to force the deletion of domain names from DNS that the Trump administration doesn't like.

@jwildeboer I remember that @404mediaco did an article on queer.af going down after the Taliban took over governance & infrastucture of Afghanistan.
I wonder if they'll specifically pull on that to frame this one.
