The Google Maps fight over Lake Ontario is not digital sovereignty gone wrong. It is the opposite. Canadians see Lake Ontario because Google and Apple follow Canada's designation here, not Trump's order. We don’t need platforms picking which rule to follow https://t.co/Q6PaPv0OEb 2.7K views · 30 likes · 9 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

Digital sovereignty means Canadian rules apply in Canada. On Lake Ontario, Google Maps did exactly that: Canadians see Canada's official name. Demanding it defy the U.S. invites platforms to pick whose rules to follow, and the next pick may not be ours. https://t.co/Q6PaPv0OEb 1.9K views · 19 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →
