The Gulf of America is the official name in accordance to our laws. Google and others would only be peddling misinformation to do otherwise within the US.

Well, Mexico for one is PISSED. They are threatening to SUE Google for the name change.
They are threatening to send 20 million illegal lawyers over the border to Google headquarters.

Google has every right to block comments on its site, that is reality get over it move on. People can complain elsewhere. I personally think calling it Gulf of America is kind of stupid but whatever.

Perhaps The USA and Mexico can work out a shared custody agreement for the gulf.

Despite the fact that the gulf is shared by multiple nations, Trump recently said that the U.S. does the "most work" on the gulf, and insisted that the body of water should bear America's name "because it's ours."

While ownership is up for debate, it's true that the U.S. has claimed control over much of the gulf. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea determined that U.S. territorial waters expand for 12 nautical miles from its shores, and the U.S. federal government manages the seas and the submerged parts of the Outer Continental Shelf as well.

Trump ally Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene previously said she planned to introduce legislation to change the name of the gulf, though it ultimately wasn’t necessary due to Trump’s executive order.

“The American people are footing the bill to protect and secure the maritime waterways for commerce to be conducted. Our U.S. armed forces protect the area from any military threats from foreign countries,” she said at the time. “It’s our gulf. The rightful name is the Gulf of America and it’s what the entire world should refer to it as.”

I'm not sure it matters.

Any nation can refer to any geographical landmark any way they wish.
