Seems like it’s time to accelerate the degoogling process 😅
No, I don’t think they will.
What if you don’t have a webcam?
“For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives,”
Security is as good as the weakest link, either bots will exploit the accessibility feature making the webcam step for humans unnecessary… or its just as secure… making the webcam step unnecessary.
Blatent attempt to extract data from you and nothing more if you ask me.
They’ll use your wifi signal strength to map out where the occupants of your home are and if the one sat at the computer is waving
Quit giving them ideas!
I’m not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.
Curious to know where you went. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay
REcaptcha isn’t a captcha. It’s an audiovisual skills test that robots can pass & many humans can’t.
good for it…
add more layers and I’ll do the same, close the tab and just go elsewhere. it’s not worth the hassle.
Google being a little removed and saying it “detected abnormal traffic coming from my IP” (I was googling something I google often) was my last straw, which ultimately led to me being here and degoogling.
In some cases, providers group multiple end users under one public-facing IP and do some address translation magic to sort out what goes where. Kind of like your whole neighbourhood having a single shared address and a central post office sorting mail into internal post boxes.
So that “abnormal traffic” might not have been you personally. It could have been some other background process on your computer, or it could have been someone in your vicinity.
Or their heuristics are spewing shit, who knows. Degoogling isn’t a bad idea, at the end of the day.
just like FB require an actual ID, and face scan.
I simply, will fucking not.
I will not bend here. Either Google stops that, or I will not be using websites that use ReCAPTCHA as their service.
I will not scan a QR code with my phone, and I will not wave at the camera. I will not allow it to access my camera.
It would be nice if there was alert if we side uses this dystopian Recaptcha
Fine, i’ll go somewhere else.
wave goodbye.
Remember when the internet didn’t suck? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Kinda irrelevant how much they want it or even how much i do it. My PC doesn’t have a camera to begin with.
No, i will not do it in front of my phone either, they don’t need any more data points or facial recognition database either. I’m completely fine not using any service that implements it as well.
The phone is where all the datamaning is happening, since its more integrated with your personal data than a computer.
Honestly, fingers and movement have been two of the telling signs of AI photos and video for a long time. Just like they’ve used captchas to crowd-source house numbers for their maps, and vehicle information and street infrastructure for their attempts at self-driving vehicles, they’re now crowd-sourcing data for AI images and video.
Plus they’ll get geo-information on your location, and video of your immediate area - like the inside of your house. They’ve had code that processes images and gives feedback on the people in the photo, their likely income and interests, and suggests ads targeted to those people. With geo-location, fingerprinting your phone, and now pictures of the inside of your house, they’re really dialing in on their surveillance and ad databases.
Not saying that the opportunity to build facial ID banks isn’t a bonus. But don’t discount the opportunity to spy inside everyone’s homes, and to improve their ability to literally generate their own version of reality - or to produce “evidence” disproving your reality to everyone else.
Damn, though you’re right. I completely forgot how much data hoarding they actually can and will do.
cant let MS upstage them
They had a whole presentation on this, and over half was got this ties into Google analytics and advertising.
It’s specifically to sell your demographic info and not about bots or training.
Yep. Not happening. No site is worth that level of fuckery
They can just fuck off . I will be pretty happy to just close the site . Anyways there is almost zero valuable information there
Reverse Turing test for the reverse centaur.
Not very accessible.
Not my computer they won’t.
