An anonymous student is suing Northwestern University for unlawfully collecting students’ biometric data through online test proctoring tools according to a class action lawsuit filed in late January.
According to The Daily Northwestern, the suit claims the school is violating Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act by not giving students a choice to opt out of the data collection.
The privacy act, known as the Biometric Information Privacy Act, was created in 2008 to protect Illinois citizens from the collection of fingerprints, retina scans and other personal data without consent. This is exactly what Northwestern is doing according to the lawsuit which describes the proctoring tools as “akin to spyware.”
“Through online proctoring tools, Northwestern collects, captures, and stores everything from a student’s facial features to their voice through a web portal accessed through the student’s personal device. Using these tools, Northwestern is able to collect and aggregate information on all aspects of a student’s life,” reads the suit in part.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
