    The calendar spam is real, and it doesn't serve anyone to pretend it's not. Just like other anti-spam measures, non-spammers will get caught up in this. But a reasonable solution starts with acknowledging the issue is real: people figured out how to get calendar bookings on my calendar w/o my approval.

    Call your legislators and regulators if so desired, they've got the means to turn the screws.
