While we are at renaming things...

Why bother with this? If you want to make a point, pass regulation in Mexico to call E.E.U.U. (US in Mexico) be called Northern Mexico. Then Google is forced to comply on that territory like they claim they do for disputed sections when maps are viewed from that region. It would make for some funny reactions from people visiting Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.

Edit: plus it would show how stupid the whole rename thing is to begin with.

Don’t “threaten”. Any asshole can make a threat. GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

Everyone needs to get used to ignoring this bullshit. The Gulf of America thing isn't important. It doesn't effect anyone, and there's far too many posts about it when there are real things to pay attention to. This is purely a distraction. Stop giving it attention.

Where will the lawsuit be filed in?

Mexican courts? Good luck getting an American company to comply.

US Courts, well... surely no judge would be biased right? glances at the composition of the US Supreme court

International Courts? Lol like they have any power at all.

Reminds me of The Expanse:

"Earth Court? Mars Court? What Inner court gives Belters justice?"

I can see Google (and Apple) quietly paying a fine and changing it for Mexico (and any other jurisdiction that specifically asks).

This is stupid and cowardly of them, but that aside, the implication is 100% “comply, or the US government will make life difficult for Google.” I can see how they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Less threatening... More doing.

The U.S. dictatorship are just doing and they're slowly tearing apart OUR planet.

Again, this is one of the dumbest fucking wastes of money I've ever seen. Waste of labor from the top down. Waste of resources. This is purely a pride move. It's the gulf of Mexico and always has been. There are American songs about the gulf of Mexico. It's history. I have said it before and I'll say it again, I fucking hate this timeline. This shit is wild. This stuff now days is a mockery of our world.

Cancel all government contracts with google

Restrict Google from doing business.in the country altogether.

Have phones switch to some open non Google platform

Fuck google, microsoft, apple, they're all evil at this point

Ive been already boycotting google, amazon, facebook, reddit. Yall need to get on it

Whenever I see Gulf of America mentioned, in my head it sounds like "This is America" in the Childish Gambino song.

I want to know how many of the people here defending Google's decision would be okay with Google labeling Taiwan as "Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)" for people in Taiwan and also the rest of the world.

Do it honey. Make em pay for suckin orange ass

Don’t forget apple

The word "America" is not reserved for the USA alone and belongs to the entire Americas: North America, Central America, South America. As such if they want to rename the Gulf of Mexico then it should be the Gulf of North America of which both the USA and Mexico are a part of and share borders around that body of water.

Furthermore the word "America" isn't an English word but the German bastardization of an Italian word. Specifically the word "America" was coined by Martin Waldseemüller a German cartographer who named the Americas after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci who explored the new continents for Spain and Portugal. So I guess the Gulf of North Amerigo is more accurate. LOL.

In any case, if this is the big orange blow-fish's attempt to dis on Mexico then it's pretty petty much like everything he does to massage his massive ego.
