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.

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.

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.
