Company that makes millions #spying on students will get to sue a whistleblower (permalink)

"Yesterday, the Court of Appeal for British Columbia handed down a jaw-droppingly stupid and terrible decision, rejecting the whistleblower Ian Linkletter's claim that he was engaged in legitimate criticism when he linked to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance company Proctorio:

#Proctorio is a massive, wildly profitable ed-tech company that sells a surveillance tool to monitor students while they take high-stakes tests from home. The tool monitors the student's computer and the student's face, especially their eye-movements. It also allows instructors and other personnel to watch the students and even take control of their computer. This is called "remote invigilation.""
