Google, Apple’s Lake America Move For Trump Exposes Bias Against PM Modi | Firstpost America

In this video, Firstpost explains how the renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America by Apple and Google for US users has sparked questions about Big Tech’s relationship with political power. The companies made the change after US President Donald Trump ordered the renaming through an executive order. Google says its maps follow official US government sources, while Canada continues to use Lake Ontario. The episode has also revived comparisons with Meta’s temporary restriction of a post by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which Meta later called an AI filtering error. The contrasting cases raise questions about whether Big Tech applies consistent standards when responding to governments and political pressure. Cary Johnston brings you the details on Firstpost America.
