Summary
Google Maps has blocked reviews for the Gulf of Mexico after backlash over renaming it “Gulf of America” for U.S. users, following a Trump executive order.
Critics accused Google of censorship after it removed negative reviews. Google defended the move, citing policies against off-topic content.
Mexico’s President Sheinbaum opposed the change and may take legal action. Apple Maps also adopted the new name.
The controversy adds to concerns over tech companies aligning with Trump, following Meta’s rollback of fact-checking and diversity initiatives.

Ah yes, I remember the promise of Yelp but its implementation on iOS has been the actual worst user experience for years. It is nothing but frustrating that it almost seems purposeful
I haven’t tried the apps. I just use their site and it’s been mostly OK for me. Does the app have features that the site doesn’t have?
Yelp isn’t always good, but I did find a great electrician via Yelp and use him for all my electrical jobs now.
Hard disagree. Yelp is terrible in the US.
