By itself, law essay writing as a service doesn't seem (to me) as a violation of their terms of use. There are a lot of use cases for producing web content/copy for websites, magazines, and the like that have absolutely nothing to do with education.
As an example, would "business plan writing" be a bad service to offer? What if an unscrupulous MBA student paid to have someone write a business plan for a college class?
I think this is mostly a non-issue and it seems like you have a bone to pick with upwork. What's the real story? Why do you hate them?
- asoskm 10y agoWell, an "essay writing service" is a thinly veiled cheating service. It's intention is to assist students to submit essays they did not right. Look up the other keywords. It's clear they want to target students.
- blister 10y agoAnd that's where I really think you're missing the point. If I needed someone to write copy for my website, I'd search using those same terms (and have in the past). UpWork is a service that sells workers. You're equating essay with education, which I think is a false correlation. The reason schools pound on essay writing so much is because so many professions require competent writers. I'm an engineer and probably spend 25% of my year writing documents, essays, proposals, blog posts, and website copy. UpWork may be unethical, but Keyword-Targeting Advertisements is not a good indicator of that.
- asoskm 10y agoHmm, that's a very narrow, literalist approach. But reading between the lines, it's clear who they're targeting.
