    They’re not required to change it. All the law does is officially change the name for official government purposes it doesn’t require everyone in the US to start calling it that.

      I never said they were required to change it. I just wanted to put into perspective the power that Google has vs the power the US has. Also change the name of the Gulf of Mexico is not law. It did not go through Congress.
