Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn't 'sustainable'

8. I think you are confusing the terms 'holiday' and 'observance'

And I'm not sure you've read the article in question (or all of my post) if you are coming to the conclusion that it's an illiberal conspiracy. Bottom-line, it costs Google money, and it's a political hassle, to include anything not coming from the global, standardized source for this sort of data, which is at https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. BHM and Pride Month (and probably 10's of 1000's of other, global 'observances') are not part of the standardized set, so they won't be on your Google calendar by default. To the extent they were previously, it's because Google paid employees to put them on its own platform, extending the baseline set of data. They're just not going to anymore, because it costs more than its worth. Occam's Razor.
