Google has announced it will no longer track culturally significant months such as Pride Month, Black History Month, and others in its online calendar. This decision follows the company's recent abandonment of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Google spokesperson Madison Cushman Veld explained that maintaining a wide range of cultural moments globally proved to be unsustainable, leading to a return to showing only recognized public holidays and allowing users to add important events. This shift marks a significant change in the company's commitment to celebrating diversity.
Google has decided to stop tracking significant cultural moments such as Pride Month and Black History Month due to sustainability concerns.
Changes in the calendar come shortly after Google abandoned several diversity initiatives, reflecting a shift in company priorities.
The company explains that manually adding cultural events was not scalable or sustainable, hence the change in approach.
Recent adjustments to diversity roles and public-facing services indicate a significant shift in Google's approach to diversity and representation.
