I can imagine the company wanting to litigate, but they might have a harder time against the authors of this study (12 page PDF) who found that "none of the cheating students were flagged by Proctorio" and suggest that "the use of online proctoring is therefore best compared to taking a placebo: it has some positive influence, not because it works but because people believe that it works, or that it might work." Ouch! The article in Vice also reports that while "David Lux, a spokesperson for Proctorio, referred Motherboard to three other studies on 'the efficacy of online proctoring'... none of the three studies were controlled experiments (and) none of them sought to find out if online proctoring software is effective at catching cheaters."
