That's reassuring. We all know that google is the best at user support.

For them to not exist and to stop it they meed to be cleaned over regularly. Some countries had that figured out.

Apple still has it as Gulf of Mexico.

That's a weird flex by South Canada.

iirc, it's the policy for countries that google categorizes as "sensitive" (aka sensitive snowflakes). US users see gulf of America, but surrounding countries still see gulf of mexico.

You do you, but that is literally yelling at a cloud.
Stop using Google services altogether, delete your accounts. Block ads. That's the only way to cost them some pennies.

I found this paragraph...
Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico? Maybe, but it’s not a unilateral decision, and other countries don’t have to go along. The International Hydrographic Organization — of which both the US and Mexico are members — works to ensure all the world’s seas, oceans and navigable waters are surveyed and charted uniformly, and also names some of them. There are instances where countries refer to the same body of water or landmark by different names in their own documentation.
