Google claims they removed several events from Google Calendar because maintaining their presence wasn't "sustainable"—but critics are crying foul.

@georgetakei Not too surprising. They're over-complying by forcing us non-US folks to put up with this map graffiti...

Why in Canada do we need to see "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" when this is exclusively a US American fever dream?

Google is really pissing me off these days. I hope others are noticing what they've been doing outside of USA.

@georgetakei The clunking sound as various corps drop DEI like a hot brick makes it easy to know where not to put our dollars.

Not that we have many now. Nor that they're worth jack. Thanks Trump!

@georgetakei

So it was "not sustainable" to maintain digital listings of events that already existed? Yeeeahh.... right. Still tastes more like censorship in service to a wannabe dictator.

Pro-tip for Google: When one is trying to justify the transition from "don't be evil" to "how much evil can we get away with, anyway?" you should probably not outsource writing the justification to AI.
