The USA is now part of a list of "sensitive countries" with authoritarian states with their own version of reality. When users in one of the countries on this list visit Google sites, they see that government's version of reality. This is nothing new. Google does it all the time with disputed territories. It's only news because it's the first time the US has an authoritarian government.

Here's how it looks when visiting from a Mexican device with the language set to Australian English while located in Hungary.

    In Google maps set to Polish while in the UK, it shows

    Zatoka Meksykańska (Zatoka Amerykańska)

    Which translates to

    Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)
