Screenshot from Morning Brew enewsletter about Google being willing to change the name of Denali and the Gulf of Mexico- send Google some feedback (super easy to do) this is BS.
Screenshot of the following information from Morning Brew "Google Maps says it will change Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for US users. The gulf best known for oil spills and spring break debauchery will soon have a new name in your Google Maps app. Google said yesterday it is complying with President Trump’s executive order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. US users will see the new Americentric name, while users in Mexico will still see the original name (and users everywhere else will see both). Google will also change the name of Denali back to Mount McKinley in accordance with Trump’s order. President Obama renamed the Alaska peak in 2015 to honor the region’s Koyukon people, who have called it Denali for centuries."
