  The companies that are doing it have done it voluntarily. Google and Apple are to blame for actually going along with this garbage.

  WTF

  Two stupids don’t make a smart.

  The government doesn’t control the language, it doesn’t control the encyclopedia. Behaving like it does (in either direction) is a surprisingly dangerous activity to normalize.

    Nah, Sheinbaum is in the right here.

    It is not about controlling a language, but barring the attempts of someone else (Google Inc.) to control how multiple languages refer to international waters.

      It’s referred to as Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. Elsewhere it’s referred to either Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) or Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico).

      They didn’t rename it for everyone, just for those living in jurisdictions falling under Car Salesman in Chief.

  Don’t know, but countries do provide a check/balance. Look at how Brazil twisted twitters arm and forced change. If our govt won’t, glad another one stepped up to the challenge.
