Google's online calendar has recently come under scrutiny after omitting default references to important cultural events, like Pride and Black History Month. This change, first implemented mid-year 2023, removed previously manually added cultural observances that supplemented official public holidays. Google cited scalability and sustainability concerns as reasons for reverting to automatic listings from timeanddate.com. Although users have noted numerous absent observances, the tech giant has not released a complete list of prior events, leading to increased discussion and disappointment among its user base.
