Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.

But why? Why should any other country care about the US's ridiculous internal politics
-
The issue is the US does not own the gulf whereas they own the streets.
-
If Trump gets to redefine reality as he sees fit then we do too.
See you on the other side, friendo.

IP address, same way they decide what language to show the names in
-
As a mexican I second this thought
-
That shows where you are, not who you are.

I'm a mexican in mexico, my phone's in japanese and it still shows as gulf of mexico
-
if im not mistaken, i think i heard google pulls the data from some external database, which changed the name. google didnt change shit, rather the database they use did.
i could be wrong, but i could have sworn i read that somewhere.
also seems rather petty to me to sue an american company for following US policy changes.
to be clear, i think the gulf of america thing is stupid as hell, and petty on trump's part.

True. Guess it's more like them getting Google to change Greenland into West Alaska
-
Ha. I speak Spanish and Japanese. My girlfriend lives in Jilatopec. Sheinbaum está furiosa con Trump y me encanta.
-
Google is evil.

found an article for whoever downvoted me lol.
Gulf of America name change in the U.S. — what you’ll see in Maps
-
They did change that line from "do no evil" to "do any profitable amount of evil", so this is fair play.
-
Kim Jung Un you mean?
-
I hope that along with the next president's EO (assuming we don't have a dictator) to change the name back, it also changes the name of a tiny garbage parcel of land that's uninhabitable due to lead or an old chemical spill to something like "greasy orange fief".
