Its been a week. I had to cancel a vacation because of this. I just cannot believe we live in a world where we can have one incident with an employee that stops many of our students from being able to communicate with their instructors and we cannot talk to a lot of other colleges. Its just a sucky life.

I know. It sucks terribly, and Google just doesn't care. It's total bullsh*t.

It is depressing. I cannot help but think that the same strategy will be applied to AI, IoT, and cars. It just is so inhuman. I don't care about scale, there is a certain level of handshaking and communication that needs to occur.
Worse, people don't get why I cannot simply call someone. That's how it works in everything else.
However, the algorithms are self-correcting. If the bad behavior has been corrected, you will automatically stop being spammed by Gmail after enough time has passed. As to how much time that takes: Google ain't sayin' and I have never succeeded in getting an answer from them.
