I think we should all start review-bombing every city and town on the coast around the norther half of the Gulf, since they've locked reviews on the gulf itself...

Then if they ban/lock those location reviews, move inland town by town. Be sure to mention you're down-rating because Google locked reviews for the Gulf of Mexico. Also call them Quislings and fascist apologists/collaborators in the review.

Find other locations within the U.S. with 'Mexico' or 'America'/'American' in their names and review or report as inaccurate suggesting the other nation's name. We could make this a sort of '/r/place' collaborative painting over the continental US...

.. and if they lock anyone's Google account for this, then the shit should really hit the fan.

They would just filter these reviews out, especially if u mention that reason. Not worth the time... I mean not even if they would leave them up.

A losing battle ultimately, I know. Ultimately moving off their services is the best way to demonstrate.

Ideally, yes.

Realistically, people won't move off Google anytime soon.
