Apple has not reduced International Women’s Day to its calendar

This week, an Instagram viral publication said that Apple Cut International Women’s Day (March 8) of his calendar – But that is not quite true.

Bellesa, a brand of sex toys, posted on March 4, “Apple quietly suppressed the international day of the calendar. It’s weird.” The carousel position explains how it can be added to its own apple calendar. International Women’s Day Was observed for the first time in 1911, according to the IWD website, and is now managed by various groups around the world. It is nestled in Months of women’s historyAnd is a day to celebrate women’s achievements and defend their rights.

This message, which has more than 41,000 likes to publication, came after Google Calendar deleted the month of black historyMonths of pride, and more vacation about three weeks ago. The technology giant said it was due to a decision to include public holidays and national observations, but the moves caused public indignation, because its timing aligns the anti-diversity thrust powered by the second presidential term of Donald Trump.

Since he came to power in January, Trump has supervised the abolition of LGBTQ White House pages and the language on Queer and trans people on other government websitesAs part of a global crusade to end the diversity, equity and inclusion programs (DEI). Technological companies have started to comply with this, as Meta And Google removing its Dei programs. (Apple shareholders recently voted To keep its policies.)

Given the anti-dei thrust, commentators easily thought that Apple had made this movement. But according to Polifact, this is not the case because Apple apparently never had International Women’s Day On its calendar in the first place. Apple told Politifact that neither the International Women’s Day nor the month in the history of women had been presented on the Apple calendar.

Mashable contacted Apple and Beauxa, and will update this story if we hear.
