"Nobody expects to get sued for re-posting a YouTube video on social media by using the "share" button, but librarian Ian Linkletter spent the past five years embroiled in a copyright fight after doing just that."
"Linkletter's legal nightmare started in 2020 after an education technology company, Proctorio, began monitoring student backlash on Reddit over its AI tool used to remotely scan rooms, identify students, and prevent cheating on exams. On Reddit, students echoed serious concerns raised by researchers, warning of privacy issues, racist and sexist biases, and barriers to students with disabilities."
""If you're gonna lie bro ... don't do it when the company clearly has an entire transcript of your conversation," Olsen wrote, later apologizing for the now-deleted post."
Ian Linkletter, a librarian and former learning technology specialist at the University of British Columbia, spent five years in a copyright lawsuit after reposting public YouTube videos. The legal fight began in 2020 when Proctorio monitored student backlash on Reddit over its remote proctoring AI, which scanned rooms, identified students, and aimed to prevent cheating. Students and researchers raised privacy, bias, and accessibility concerns. Linkletter joined student critics after Proctorio's CEO publicly confronted a student and posted private chat logs. A settlement has now been reached, and Linkletter vows to oppose invasive educational technology like Proctorio.
