I was taking a certificate exam earlier this year, and looked into taking it via ProctorU or the old-fashioned way, at a testing center. After looking at their system requirements and the draconian measures needed to just be able to take my exam (they also require you to have a webcam, which I don't have and to real-time broadcast your private room, where you will be taking the exam, which is a non-starter for me), I realized it would take me longer to set up correctly, than it would take me to drive there, take the test and be back home. I heard some people say we live in a high trust society, but that trust only seems to be going one way. If I don't trust a corporation, I have no agency or power to act on that. But if they don't trust me, they impose these insane draconian measures without any oversight that preclude me from progressing in life, professionally or otherwise. It's fucking insane.
