Daring Fireball: Google Maps Will Rename Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’, for American Users Only

The Gulf of Mexico, though, is an international body of water, and its name wasn’t even debated until Trump started talking about it a few weeks ago. Google (and perhaps Apple) having a policy where they simply follow the naming conventions of the GNIS seems not merely sensible but utterly uncontroversial … until now.

Fear of angering the dear leader is facism at its most fundamental level.
