Eh I’m on the opposite side, despite being a massive lefty. Why would an american company not follow an American dictate just for America? (It’s still called the Gulf of Mexico on Google in every other country) It sets a wild precedent where private businesses refuse to follow the fairly inconsequential requests of their government.
“I’m such a massive lefty, I see no issue with a mega corporation bending the knee to a fascist regime and helping them virtually take over territory that isn’t theirs” 🙄
(also no, it isn’t only showing in the states, and this being an expected part of capitalism doesn’t make it any less of a problem to be taken seriously)
What does google have to gain from saying no? A mild recapture of respect from the people with no political power?
Also the territory isn’t there’s, sure, but it’s also no one’s. If weird ass trump wants to rename it in their countries name, go for it.
Google shows Gulf of Mexico to Mexico, and both names to every other country.
As Bannon literally pointed out, this is absolutely a Trump tactic, to firehouse the news with bullshit stories, and THIS is comparatively a non issue.
The Mexican president asked for the US to be called Mexico Americana or something like that. I haven’t seen if google complied yet, but if they don’t, would you support them not?

Well google is a US country, so google bending the knee to Trump is fairly expected.
But sure, if NZ wants to call itself Aotearoa, google should change that. Is Mexico wants to rename it to Mexico Americana, go for it.
If the Mexican people take Umbridge with their government renaming their local maps, take it up with the government, not the map drawers.
