Meanwhile, way down deep in the basement, there was a strange stirring ....

Cloud email was a double win for education as it not only removed an administrative burden but was also offered at low prices, with the big vendors no doubt hoping that students would get hooked on their tech and go on to recommend it in business.

And with the big vendors no doubt not hoping and/or not realising that students would get hooked into their tech and go on to reconfigure its payloads for the commission of certain of their businesses and certain businesses.

Aint that presently one of the Major Current Greater IntelAIgent Game Plays of Today? Tomorrow? Yesterday?

:-) cc Dom Cummings [if he is both into and up for such shenanigans] ...... to name but one possible excitable client/right dodgy commissioner.

And that aint no joke. I Kid U Not.
