Our school is making us use this "online testing" software to prevent cheating. It just so happens that this software edits your computer& #39;s registry, has no privacy policy, has countless news articles saying it& #39;s a shitshow, and takes unauthorized control of your PC. How fun!
When you take a test with the program, it force quits everything on your PC (including zoom) and doesn& #39;t let you reopen it. It also streams your webcam directly to teachers. Isn& #39;t that a fun and safe program!
I& #39;m not sure what& #39;s more creepy - the software itself, or the fact that 99% of the students and teachers are gonna install it like total sheep and use it without asking any questions. This thing is basically a virus and I feel obligated to speak up about it
Update: Me along with a bunch of friends sent a very formal and well written email addressing all the concerns we have with the sketchy program. Hopefully we get a reasonable response, and hopefully they don& #39;t criticize me for having Smug Megumin as my school gmail avatar.
Another update: We got a response that answers NONE of our concerns and just says "it& #39;s a very reliable software and we can assure you it& #39;s safe, now download it"

This means war.

(The program is called TestWe by the way, feel free to dig deep into it)
