Group messages. If I send an SMS message to a group of people, they all see a message from me. They don't know who else got it. And if they reply, they reply only to me. Is your experience different? WhatsApp (and I think iMessage) all

Yes, in Abu Dhabi in 2010, Michael Schumacher spun 180 and Vitantonio Liuzzi then hit him head on. It was at relatively low speed (for F1) but Schumacher's head was very nearly hit as the other car rode over his.

I don't think the 'bad' PR is going to be very costly at all. More like free advertising. A massive proportion have heard of Zoom this week compared to last because of the PR. Pretty much an ideal free viral marketing campaig
