EFF: "...The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a lawsuit today against Proctorio Inc. on behalf of college student Erik Johnson..."

GoFundMe page: "...My name is Ian Linkletter... wired over $50,000 to Arvay Finlay, LLP, doubling my legal defense fund. John Trueman is joined by Cathie Boies Parker, Q.C., and Mark Underhill..."

Different lawsuits?

I think @dang did a faulty merge between two different, but related articles. This was the original article it was from:

Yikes - I didn't realize there were two distinct lawsuits. I guess I foolishly assumed that they would only shoot themselves in one foot?

I'm not sure what to do now that these threads have gotten blended so thoroughly. Will figure something out.

No worries dang, mistakes happen :P.

If you shoot yourself in one foot you get a nasty limp. Two is much better, for balance.

As someone else said, this originally linked to a tweet by linketter, who is being sued by proctorio. Similar but different scenarios

I feel like this comment should be at the top - for anyone who feels strongly about this issue and didn’t spot this link further down in his Twitter thread.
