They just do whatever local law tells them to. I bet it shows a different name in non-Trumponia regions.

It's an "executive order", not a law. Google has no reason to make the change other than to kiss the diaper.

But but but… yankistanis told me that US corporations are separate from the government, unlike Chinese ones, and don't have to follow unlawful orders.

It's all a lie?

Its not a law. All it is, is a request for the head of the US geological survey to ask their dept use a specific name on something.

It has zero legal weight.
