  "summary": "Google has introduced a new feature for Google Calendar that allows users to block other users, effectively removing their events and invitations from their personal calendars. This update is currently rolling out to Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers. The feature aims to tackle the issue of unwanted spam and unwanted invitations that can clutter one's calendar. Once someone is blocked, any event or invitation from them will no longer appear in your Calendar, and you will also cease to receive new Calendar invitations from that individual.",
