>I have already been getting spam through invites (where they get auto-added to my calendar even before I have a chance to see what they are).
Fortunately you can turn this off in the Google Calendar settings. This way they only get added to your calendar if you accept.

I wanted a private calendar without sharing/invites too, so I ended up building my own (do not recommend unless you have a lot of time on your hands!).
No spam, no ads, you own your data. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about it.

You could already add events to somebody's calendar by sending them an invite, and you could already mark events as spam. I don't see what's new here.
Frankly, I want my calendar to be a private calendar. I don't want to share it, or receive invites through it, or auto-add events just because I got an email. I'm still happy to have the sync capability, because I use a smartphone, but aside from that I really have no use cases which require my calendar to be online at all.
Admittedly, this may just be a case where Google's interests are not aligned with my own. If so, are there (real, viable) alternatives?
