Google reclassifies U.S. as ‘sensitive country’ like China, Russia
Following President Trump's declarations about changes to the map, Google employees were given the highest level of urgency to reclassify the U.S.
Google’s maps division on Monday reclassified the U.S. as a “sensitive country,” a designation it reserves for states with strict governments and border disputes, CNBC has learned.
The decision to elevate the U.S. to its list of sensitive countries illustrates the challenges Tech companies face in navigating the Trump presidency.
Google’s list of “sensitive” countries includes China, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
No worries: His Orangeness will summon Sundar Pichai to Mar-a-Lago, Sundar will be reminded that he kissed the ring last month and he shouldn't bite the hand that feeds him - hell, maybe he'll threaten to deport him back to India for good measure - and hey-presto, the US will be taken off Google's shit list.
Thanks Donald.
