Summary
Google has reclassified the U.S. as a “sensitive country” following Trump’s announcement to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and Mount Denali as Mount McKinley.
The designation, typically reserved for nations with border disputes or strict governments, reflects the growing challenges tech companies face under Trump’s second term.
Google Maps has prioritized updating these name changes, treating them similarly to disputed regions like the Persian Gulf.
The reclassification may impact how Google handles U.S. geographic labels moving forward.
It only does it in the country, as a Canadian I still see gulf of Mexico.
That’s the whole point of this sensitive designation
I am in the US and still see Gulf of Mexico.
I would actually love if for the next 4 years they just got busy only remaining places on map and nothing else.
Sadly much more damaging stuff is happening and this is just another distraction.
It’s funny how people think it will be 4 years. This shit will not be over in 4 years.
Republicans are already proposing removing the term limit on presidents, while somehow claiming that won’t allow Obama to run again.
Pourquoi n’est-il pas correctement étiqueté? C’est le Golfe du Québec!
If the Bloc runs on that platform, I’d vote for them from Ontario.
