On the English-speaking internet, North America = the world.

I think you will find that it only includes half of north America (604,155,369 total population https://worldpopulationreview.com/continents/north-america-population vs the 334,233,854 of the contry you likely mean.)
North America is the term generally used for the US and Canada, where I'm from anyway, so I'm not sure what you mean. I do enjoy all the downvotes from the Americans whose exceptionalism is being offended by my pointing it out though, keep it coming chumps!
Don't forget Mexico, Greenland, or the entire Caribbean.
