You say that, but on both google and apple maps for example the Gulf of Mexico is now labeled as the Gulf of America. So there are public companies caving to the stupidity of this kind of dumbass bullshit. Those are probably the two most used map products in the entire world, so this stuff is not isolated to the US government

They have yet to cave and change the name of Lake Ontario, but give it a month or two and Im sure they will do it

It well be weeks. And the rest of the world gets the brackets like all other contested names.

Labeling does not make it a new thing.
