Google already lost the right to use goo.gl for their link shortening service. I'm not sure who would be a part of a potential coup, but it seems unlikely since Greenland has no military of their own, the military being provided by Denmark(a NATO member) who has already in the past allowed the US to station nuclear weapons on Greenland, despite being a party to the NPT.

They didn't lose the rights. They still own goo.gl; go to the address and you'll get Google. They just weren't interested in running a link shortener anymore.
Yea, they probably realized there was no analytics advantage when anyone who would use that shortener would also likely have google analytics on thier site...
did they lose the right or did they just not want to run it anymore?
