Emerging Technology & Open Education Librarian. Dude being sued since 2020. Previously at UBC. Let's go exploring! He/Him https://t.co/hd720GzzdU

I needed to edit https://t.co/rj3uEOsJ6T this week. Proctorio will drag this out as long as they can. I was 36 when I was sued, now I'm 41. One day I will be free from this meritless lawsuit, but until that day I have the pro bono legal counsel needed to sustain the fight.

Schools pay Proctorio hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. This money helps fund a five year million dollar lawsuit against me for daring to criticize them. Meanwhile, their competitors are earning tens, even hundreds of millions simply by not being Proctorio.

Want to avoid getting sued by Proctorio? Don't do business with them. Proctorio *only* sues their customers.

Proctorio is still suing me. It's been 1,863 days. I estimate it costs them something like $1000 a day, but might be wrong.

The only proctoring company that has ever sued its own customers is Proctorio. You'd be safer with anyone else. Read what Proctorio did to Miami University student Erik Johnson. Out of all the proctoring companies, Proctorio is the litigious one.

The best way to avoid being sued by Proctorio is to not do business with them. They only sue students and staff from their institutional customers. Proctorio has never sued a non-customer. Protect your students and staff by refusing to give Proctorio your business.

Google quietly added a “homework help” button to the world’s most-used web browser. Educators say it makes cheating too easy.

Proctorio claims to be able to detect smart glasses, but it can't even see human faces.
Proctorio now claims to be able to detect the use of "smart glasses". Recent research shows that Proctorio's software has a higher "failure to detect" rate for people with darker skin tones, people with head coverings, and people with glasses. https://t.co/tFd5yLA7pE

New research confirms that OpenCV, the open source facial detection software used by Proctorio, is racially biased. Lucy Satheesan was right! Proctorio is wrong. Link: https://t.co/tFd5yLA7pE

Texas Tech University will no longer use Proctorio. Previously, my research about this school's use of Proctorio on K-12 students was profiled in The Guardian. These kids will now be safe from the harms of Proctorio. I feel a great weight has been lifted. https://t.co/N5KIHXnMRI

The maximum penalty for noncommercial copyright infringement in Canada is $5000. I estimate Proctorio has spent $1,000,000 in legal fees pursuing this ridiculous lawsuit for the past 5 years.

UBC's student newspaper, The Ubyssey (@Ubyssey), has always had the best Proctorio coverage. I made a webpage with links so you can see it all in one place. https://t.co/5mWAAFkPHo

Students are resorting to extreme measures to fend off accusations of cheating, including hourslong screen recordings of their homework sessions.
