Google Maps censors Gulf of America reviews [1]

If you thought the Google Maps controversy with Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America was finished, you're wrong.

If you bring up Google Maps and put Gulf of America in the search field, you come up with no results. If you put in Gulf of Mexico, it comes up, but the bottom says Gulf of America.

If you hit the little red marker it comes up with "posting is currently turned off."

After this, only if you start a search, and don't type anything in, and use the back option, then the labeling for Gulf of America shows up in the middle.

Apparently Google has been review bombed. The download in the Apple App Store has gotten tons of one star reviews describing the app as "factually inaccurate."

President Sheinbaum of Mexico reiterated on Thursday her concerns about the name change, and suggested that she could sue Google about it.

The Mexican-American War apparently never ended. We have Donald Trump to thank for fanning the flames.
