Google says “Sensitive is simply used in our internal systems for countries that see different official names in Maps”, after adding the US to that list  —  @CNBC This report is misleading. “Sensitive” is simply used in our internal systems for countries that see different official names in Maps (like a different name for a body of water) — that's all there is to it. This is common & includes dozens of countries. Adding the U.S. & Mexico
