***** What Google Should Do About the Gulf of Mexico *****
There is as far as I know NO LAW that requires #Google to harmonize its geo naming with the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) to the exclusion of global norms and common sense.
At the VERY least, I call on Google to show the globally accepted "Gulf of Mexico" to U.S. users -- as they are doing for users EVERYWHERE else on the planet -- along with Trump's fascist "Gulf of America" (hell, put "Gulf of Mexico" in parentheses if nothing else) if they're so terrified of upsetting Trump by not bowing to his psychotic demands.
Students in particular depend on ACCURACY in Google Maps and other Google geo services. Fascist naming censorship manipulations and propaganda are a slap in the face to them and to Google's core principles, which Google appears to be increasingly shredding every day.
It will be interesting when a US contestant on a quiz show answers gulf of America to a question, when the rest of the world knows it as gulf of mexico, wrongj answer given and their jackpot of say 1 million (what ever currency) is taken away.
America is not the sole country in the world, the rest of the world are not going to change every map over night, just on the words of a ego maniac in the whitehouse.
