techEd Test-spyware giant @proctorio unacceptable behavior
The apparent sociopath CEO @artfulhacker of mandated test-spyware giant @proctorio
I'm agitated tonight because the CEO of Proctorio attacked a student in my University's subreddit, calling them a liar and posting their chat support logs. Many examples of this online. Unacceptable behaviour. One sloppy CTRL+F away from breaking the law.https://t.co/3elCMCFnc9 pic.twitter.com/btv5TB3g1B

made a big privacy boo-boo while trying to “own” a student on our uni’s subreddit; now desperate to cover it up

h/t @cogdog for pointing to this marvelous piece by @SheaSwauger "the burden should be on tech companies to prove to us how their technology isn’t oppressive, not on their critics to prove that they are." https://t.co/7PRA7o7RTF

Proctorio CEO (Mike Olsen) under fire for releasing chat transcripts on r/UBC
This is a violation fo BC FIPPA law.

30.1 A public body must ensure that personal information in its custody or under its control is stored only in Canada and accessed only in Canada, unless one of the following applies:
(a)if the individual the information is about has identified the information and has consented, in the prescribed manner, to it being stored in or accessed from, as applicable, another jurisdiction;
(b)if it is stored in or accessed from another jurisdiction for the purpose of disclosure allowed under this Act;
(c)if it was disclosed under section 33.1 (1) (i.1).

It is actually highly questionable whether it is legal for UBC to use proctorio in the first place.
