Do not show the fascist techbros any part of your anatomy no matter how hard they ask.
Google's new reCAPTCHA wants you to turn on your camera and show it your hand, so it can identify you more definitively.reclaimthenet.org/googles-new-…

The same company that monetizes everything you do online would like to switch on your camera.Ken Macon (Reclaim The Net: Free Speech, Privacy, Digital Rights)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I read reCAPTCHA was/is part of their user tracking spyware - it transmits data back as you select pictures/type in letters, but this looks like a very worrying refinement.
I wonder how it would read 🖕.
Call me paranoid, but unless I *really* need to get past it, I usually turn back if confronted by a reCAPTCHA 'gatekeeper', lol!

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Every webmaster needs to drop #reCAPTCHA *IMMEDIATELY*. reCATPCHA always kind of sucked, but this goes WAY too far.
And users should refuse to send ANY camera pictures. First they say it’s "only" the hand. Next it’s your face.
#Google is probably testing out the waters to see how far they can go.
