That’s what happens when you let one company manage everything.

No. That’s what happens when the United States deliberately chooses to let its monopolies capture markets unchecked.

Google, like Microsoft, Amazon and a slew of egregious, predatory Big Tech monopolies, would have been broken up into harmless pieces years ago - if not decades - in any other country.

I have plan to dig up and somehow reanimate Teddy.

I figure we get some cool new nat parks out of it too. If I can pull this off.

I’m still working out the details.

This right here, but without the “deliberate”, which hides the egregious levels of corruption that allowed for this to happen.

Those two things are not unrelated.

Easy to sue them then.

Time for the EU to step up and make it illegal for any European website to use these captchas.

Regulate this shit, this is breaking any open web standard and also an accessibiliy nightmare. A lot of old people have a computer but a dumb phone, also how is a blind person that uses a screenreader supposed to navigate such a captcha?

Ban this shit. NOW

For God’s sake yes, and cloudflare too while we’re at it. I’m so sick of their crap.

Everything except their DNS resolution and proxies, right?

Unfortunately, I can’t give you more than 1 upvote. Want to give you tens of upvotes because I agree with you so bloody much!!

EU have “banned” Google Analytics. It’s time for banning reCAPTCHA too, but hard banning - both of them!

EU have “banned” Google Analytics

that seemed worthless though, I still see it at lots of places.

airikr@lemmy.ml on 11 May 22:58 collapse

Yepp. It’s like EU have only soft-banned that shit.

Batmorous@lemmy.world on 11 May 10:55 collapse

We should all suggest to EU what they should focus on:

  1. Make more phone OEM’s that work WITH JollaOS, PostmarketOS, GrapheneOS, etc (With ability to fully switch OS’es)
  2. To make it where Android must stay open, and iOS needs to open up instead of clamping down (No more walled gardens)
  3. Another big thing: Having EU people own Android and iOS. With EU having them both fully open sourcing their OS’es with GPL-license for EU people to use and have. To know fully well that it is not being used for bad
  4. Same as #3 but for JavaScript

Anyone want to add other stuff?

Getting rid of Google (and the reliance on US big tech) is more important than ever.

Cloudfare is doing this to Apple browsers with do not fingerprint features enabled

I appreciate this informative title, much more than the hysterical trash-titles that were posted elsewhere.

  • helping privacy, most of the sites that use recaptcha will absolutely steal all your data so they are helping by shooting themselves in the foot
