The timestamps are generated on their respective machines, M1 and M2. There is no global central time system that will always have the correct clocks.
So even if these events are sent to a shared server, the server will have no idea which of them occurred first, and it will compare with just the timestamps it got from those machines.
Comparing 2 clocks with just their absolute time is always hard, whether it's engineering or physics.
And thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
