Ars Technica covers the story of Ian Linkletter's five year struggle with Proctorio. The article is generally sympathetic with Linkletter and (from what I can tell) relates the story in an accurate and even-handed way. "In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, one of the purposes of the lawsuit was to have a chilling effect on public discourse around proctoring," Linkletter told Ars. "And it worked. I mean, a lot of people were scared to use the word Proctorio, especially in writing."
