US tech giant Google recently adopted a “differential treatment” for the name label of Lake Ontario on its digital map: in Canada, Lake Ontario is shown, while in the US it shows “American Lake.” On August 30, a social media post posted by Google showed that Google changed the name of Lake Ontario according to the US Geographic Names Information System: “American Lake” for users in the US, Lake Ontario for users in Canada, and two names at the same time for users outside of the US and Canada.
