  • Résumé

  • The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" highlights how digital platforms shape modern reality. Historically, renaming was driven by colonial powers, political regimes, or cultural shifts, but now corporations like Google and Apple influence geographical identities. This shift raises concerns about legitimacy, corporate control, and public resistance. The power to define place names has moved from governments to tech giants, sparking debates about geopolitical influence. Whether the new name endures depends on public acceptance, institutional adoption, and digital activism. The future of global naming conventions now lies in the hands of digital cartographers.
