Some users are angry that some events have been removed.
Summary
Google Calendar users are upset after noticing that events like Pride Month, Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage were removed from default settings.
Google confirmed the change, stating that maintaining a manually curated list of cultural observances worldwide was "not scalable or sustainable."
Instead, Google has reverted to only displaying public holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com, with users now responsible for adding other events manually.
