crosspost it to c/actually_infuriating

That really stinks. Does the audio version do anything different?

this must be a rickroll, right?

I would assume this was trying to deliver malware if I ever saw it

Scan this QR code with your moble device to verify if you have been rickrolled. reCAPTCHA protects you from rickrolling and will not give you up and share your details with rickrollers nor it will let you down and desert you.

Probably still is. Scan it and let us know if you get malware.

I did not try it and have closed the window after the popup because it was too ridiculous. I was able to find an article about this, looks like the rollout started a week ago https://cybernews.com/privacy/google-qr-code-recaptcha-requires-approved-phone/

The following for furthur info: https://thebrainbin.org/m/degoogle@lemmy.ml/p/678383

It's goes to recapt cha.net/qr/mMs9S9g8

(Space addes to break the link.)

Good thing that everyone has a smartphone as a secondary device. God forbid you would not be able to scan a QR code, what are we, the middle ages?!?! (and I'm not even starting on the absurdity of why you would want to do it, that's another point)

Any service implementing this shit will be on my list of never using it again. Even if my bank do such shit I'll be moving to another one. Zero tolerancy. This is beyond the limits.

tbh I'd rather have a 5% chance of being rickrolled for each link I click for the rest of my life than having this stupid invasive captcha everywhere

oh no, it’s already happening… I must be ready

How are people surprised by this??? This change has been constantly in the news for weeks now. How are people missing this? Its basically googles way to bypass all the backlash to age verification, because most phones are linked to peoples identity, phone number, etc.

Btw I suggest URLCheck on F-Droid, it registers as a browser and allows you to check, clean, un-shorten links and so on before opening them

reCAPTCHA protects. your privacy and does not share your details with this website or app.

We foxes promise not to let any predators into the henhouse.

A some recently website someone shared showed, there are some bits of data you automatically share with websites without them asking.

What does the headphone and eye symbol do?

Ugh, yeah. Cloudflare too. I hate it. It's like 2/3 of sites I try,

Blah blah needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

Then it goes to an enedless reload loop. Or gets stuck.

I went to a site last week that belonged to a human rights organization. It's a ranking of countries by different aspects like economic freedom or w/e, and some articles about their methodolgy. Couldn't load it due to fucking Cloudflare. Cloudflare does not deem me worthy to read about human rights.

Why? Because I try to protect my right to privacy. The irony.

chances are it was FOIA-confirmed slop anyways so cloudfare likely did you a favor. lol

captchas hate vpns

Someone wants to create an addon that hijacks recaptcha, for privacy? They only want a hash, no?

Ah yes, my very real human ability of scanning QR codes. Truly an inherent characteristic of humanity.

Did I just have a stroke, or is this comment incomprehensible to everyone else too?

Well, the bots do. Like 90% of viewbotting, click farming, follower buying etc is sold by people running phone farms.

Sorry, I was like half asleep. I can’t find it, there was a website I saw shared somewhere on Lemmy that showed you all the info you automatically shared when visiting a website and it pointed out stuff that they collected without even asking for it. The implication is that your device gives websites data involuntarily; the website wasn’t asking for it.

Just scan the qr code on your screen with your mobile device, we can get it sorted out.

They said it wasn't shared with the website. They didn't say it wasn't shared with anyone at all.

For those curious:

• QR code: https://recaptcha.net/qr/mMs9S9g8
• which resolves to: https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652

That's what google's been using to lockout non official Android forks like GrapheneOS. You can click on the eye icon at the bottom to get the regular captcha though... for now.

Funny that it just doesn't work with JS disabled.

Disabling js disables breaks fingerprinting, but also breaks a lot of websites

So funny that a site about tracking needs more tracking to work.

How does it stop those from scanning it?

Oh you can scan it, but as I recall they then force you to put your phone number in to finish the process.

Reminds me of those privacy policies. "We don't sell your data!" in the big type. When you dig more into the fine print... they don't! But they do "share it within their partner family of companies". And then THOSE companies sell it. Or sometimes, sell inferences made from it, even if not sell the data.

Prove I'm human? Sure... [closes tab]

TL;DR:

Supported Environments for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification:

• Android Devices:
  • Google Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater.
  • To verify Google Play Services version on an Android device, open Settings > Apps > All Apps > Google Play Services
• iOS/iPadOS devices for QR Code Scan:
  • Version 15.0 or greater.
• iOS/iPadOS devices for "Click to Verify" Button:
  • Version 16.4 or greater.
  • Version 15.0-16.4 with the reCAPTCHA app installed.

Fuck Google

Requires Google Play Services, from what I've heard, meaning it will only allow people who have phones pre approved by Google. I assume they also made some Apple service also acceptable. Can't cut out their friends

Yeah, they're just sharing your info with their 1000+ "legitimate interest" partners. Nothing sketchy about that, no sir.

better than me, they just blocked my IP outright.

Þe stated reason is a lie. Þis isn't about verifying anyone is human.

But you knew þat.
