What’s Wrong with reCaptcha?
- It gathers data on devices, IP addresses, browsing behavior, and even mouse movements.
- This information is then sold to advertisers, generating massive profits for Google.
- Estimates suggest reCaptcha has brought Google around $888 billion in revenue.
A Manipulation Disguised as Security?
