‘There is No Evil Like reCAPTCHA (v3)’

An anonymous reader shares a post: Like many things that starts out as a mere annoyance, though eventually growing into somewhat of an affliction. One particularly dark and insidious thing has more than reared its ugly head in recent years, and now far more accurately described as an epidemic disease.

Yes that seemingly harmless question of “Are you a human?” Truly I wish all this called for were sarcastic puns of ‘The Matrix’ variety but the matter is far more serious. Google describes reCAPTCHA as: “[reCAPTCHA] is a free security service that protects your websites from spam and abuse.” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, as reCAPTCHA is actually something that causes abuse.
