GULF OF AMERICA!

How utterly pathetic renaming the Gulf of ( that place south of America hidden behind the Trump Wall,anything Hadrian can do...) to the Gulf of America🤣🤣 How proud they be 🇺🇸 that Google Maps have changed the name which dates back to 1550 on historical maps on American web sites and all the CIA geographical maps the USA heavily depends on to find anyway outside their country! The rest the world maps will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico.

Google are hedging their bets outside the US

@Lugwho Nothing wrong with putting alternative names there.

@SW-User I'd prefer it to be just the Gulf of Mexico to be honest

@Lugwho That's odd. I checked yesterday and it only said Gulf of Mexico.

@Dolimyte I'm in Scotland, I wonder if it varies around the world

Dolimyte · 41-45, M

@Lugwho No, I checked again just now and I'm seeing both names as well. I think they changed it within the last day.

@Lugwho
It's only printed as Gulf of America if you use Google as a search engine which is American-owned and extreme right-wing leaning company.

@swirlie Remember when Google's motto was "Don't be evil"...

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Yes, I remember that! I wonder who got to Mark Zuckerberg first?

@swirlie Do you mean Sergey Brin? Still I get your point :(
