Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote a letter asking Google to reject the U.S. decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America on its mapping service.
The people with the authority to officially change the name in the U.S. did so. The opportunity to do something about it was 3 months ago when only about a third of eligible voters voted against this crap. So here we are, and it is only going to get worse.
There is still reason to pressure Google in the US (based on this policy of theirs) and especially abroad (as they plan to use both names outside USA and Mexico). Otherwise, they are handing Trump an easy win.
