They're only fully complying in the US. I assume they'd do similar in China and other regimes.

They are technoligarchy
Our knowledge has been digitalized, and now they can change it in an instant, and some will never notice or remember

Because Congress didn't change the name, even in the US the official name is Golf of Mexico.

Sadly much of the US is brown-nosing Trump, granting him more power than he actually has.

And lern and teach the power of EOs and why Trump gets his kicked out on the regular. It is embarrassing, how many SCOTUS is waisting time on them.

The above post includes a screenshot of a tweet from the @MapQuest account from social media platform, "X" (formerly Twitter before a shithead bought it and broke it), that reads:
"fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico - not because of politics but because we haven't updated our maps in like 15 years and don't remember how to do it"

It depends on what your local government accepts as "truth". Simply flipping your VPN also might not reveal the correct answer, as you might have cached tiles, etc...

My point is, no matter how stupid the decision to change the name is, it *is* an officially recognized name change.

Someone's review of Asia:

»It was pretty neat but way bigger than I expected. I didn't have time to see it all in my stop-over flight. Also a bit too spicy, but not bad. (3 stars)«

Otherwise: »The Gulf of Mexico is a great Gulf because of cool places like Mexico and Cuba, but unfortunately so much noise and smell from adjacent USA area (3 stars)«

Internationally, it shows the generally recognized label first (Mexico) and the disputed label (America) in parenthesis after.

I hate this, too, but it's how it's usually done. Place names are in dispute all the time.
