Google officially eliminated the proud month -related content on Google Calendar after receiving an Elon Musk app. This movement quickly attracted public attention and caused a lot of controversy on social media platforms. Many users expressed their disappointment by this decision, saying this was a step back to honor the LGBTQ+community.
The incident originated in a series of Elon Musk statements on social networks, in which he expressed his view of disagreement with the content related to the proud month that appears on technology platforms. This leads to great pressure on large technology companies, including Google. Soon after, users noted that the proud month was eliminated from Google Calendar, one of the most popular time management services in the world.
The reaction of the public is divided into two mixed opinions. A part of the user thinks Google has the right to decide the content shown on its platform and that does not mean that the company against the LGBTQ+community. However, most organizations that support LGBTQ+ criticized this decision by saying that Google is influenced by external pressures rather than maintaining neutralism in social problems.
Over the years, Google has always been known as one of the technology companies with open policies, supporting diversity and integration. The elimination of content related to the proud month makes many people ask questions about the company’s position on important social issues. Some Google employees also expressed dissatisfaction with this decision and asked the company to give an official explanation.
Although there is no official Google response about the exact cause of this decision, the incident continues to attract the attention of the media and users worldwide. The question is whether this is a sign of a greater change in the approach of technology companies on social issues.
