    How dumb. Seriously how fucking dumb do you have to be to go along with something that is so juvenile and stupid. Everything about it is dumb.

      They’ve done this for every disputed area around the world for a long time. Depending on where you’re logging in from you’ll see a different locale.

        I see “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” in Canada which is fucking stupid. Nobody outside of the US recognises “Gulf of America”

          Basically nobody in the US recognizes Gulf of America either.

          I mean, most people could probably figure it out by deduction, but nobody is going to point right to it on a map.

          Another user just replied to me confirming they show a hybrid label for it. It’s also kind of general knowledge for anyone who has consumed their Maps API. Lmk if you need links.
