This is coverage of Ian Linkletter's ongoing lawsuit over Proctorio's student surveillance software and the wider effect the company's tactics have had on commentators. "Multiple critics of the technology declined to speak to the Guardian citing an aura of litigiousness. There is 'censorship through the fear of a lawsuit'." It also covers the case of Erik Johnson, a computer engineering student who eventually reached a settlement, as well as that involving the anti-surveillance advocacy group Fight for the Future, which ran a website that satirizes Proctorio CEO, Mike Olsen. It also mentions lass-action lawsuits that have been filed against Proctorio along with two other companies – Examity and Honorlock. In related news, a federal judge in the U.S. ruled just a few days ago that scanning students' rooms during remote tests is unconstitutional (see also).
