The article certainly signals that we're supposed to feel sympathy for the folks in Kenya. But they are knowingly helping people cheat, right? The next thing, we'll be asked to feel sympathy for moms who kill their kids.

> But they are knowingly helping people cheat, right? In the same way a mom and pop pizza joint willingly serving someone who is trying to be on a strict healthy diet is helping people cheat, yes, but if McDonalds then rolled in and took away all their business, is there no room to feel sympathy for the loss of mom and pop's livelihood? It is not a binary situation.

  No it’s not the same thing because one serves food, and the other facilitated academic fraud.

    That doesn't make sense. If you want to take the food angle then the other serves homework. If you want to take the fraud angle then the other facilitates dietary fraud.

      With dietary fraud you’re only defrauding yourself.

        To be fair your dietician/healthcare professional might also be disappointed, but you're ultimately right, just like with college nobody else cares. Of course, that was already implied from the onset. I find it intriguing that you've only just come to that realization.

the industry only exists because of cheating Americans, maybe fix your own shit first before passing judgement

  In fairness, I wasn't doing this for Americans. I would say the Anglo-American model of schooling, which treats students like customers, is very much to blame. The industry wouldn't exist if students were result expelled for cheating. It's pretty obvious when someone's doing it.

> feel sympathy for moms who kill their kids That's a bit of a weird jump, where's that come from?
