Canvas hack is extremely bad, the "biggest student data privacy disaster in history" because it contains billions of messages between students and their professors, which can be extremely sensitive: "There's personal circumstances, medical circumstances, accessibility accommodations, disputes, sexual assault allegations, like all sorts of stuff would be getting reported to the instructor using Canvas."

I've been saying this for years. That the introduction of Big Tech into the college/university setting has been a net negative. In some ways, it has ruined what it means to learn. Here, Canvas probably fell behind in what they should have been doing to protect students. Even the Canvas experience has gotten worse, become more cumbersome.
Ugh.
