I get it - you’re mocking the parent’s framing of this as a security issue.

Perhaps it isn’t an issue for you, but in case it’s not obvious, calendar entry titles and descriptions can (and have) contained confidential information that would present various forms of business risk if leaked. BigCo corporate IT policy often forbids placing such information on untrusted third-party hardware/software/services.



Of course this is a security issue, I was just making a joke about how I hate meetings. If this is confusing see:

"Meetings are like lasagna without the cheese—dull, bland, and ultimately unsatisfying." - Garfield

"Meetings: The art of keeping the people who need to work in a room too long so they can't get any work done." - Dilbert

"Dilbert." Cartoon. By Scott Adams. Published October 7th, 2003. Dilbert.com, https://dilbert.com/strip/2003-10-07. Accessed 15 May 2023.

(and yes both references and quotes are fake)
