Episode Synopsis

Google Calendar has removed default entries for events like Pride and Black History Month, citing the previous system’s unsustainability due to manual updates and global inconsistencies. The shift to only displaying public holidays and national observances sourced from timeanddate.com has sparked intense debate, with critics accusing Google of political capitulation and supporters defending the move as necessary. Users are proposing alternatives, such as a dedicated cultural events calendar, while the discussion underscores the challenges of balancing inclusivity and accuracy in digital platforms.
