From the post:
>Google Maps has reclassified the United States as a “sensitive country,” a label designated to countries like China and Russia with characteristics like strict governments and border disputes. The move came shortly after Google confirmed it would be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Google Maps. In a post to X, it promised to make the change when the name was officially updated in government sources, including the Geographic Names Information System. However, the name change will only be visible in the U.S. since other countries don’t have to agree to it.
