Absolutely not. Go fuck yourselves. There’s not a person in the world who I would do this for.
Privacy nightmare aside, is it just me or does this sound a lot less secure than the find the bus bullshit they do now? Seems like it would be much easier for a bot to generate a realistic looking hand wave than interpret increasingly obscure photo puzzles.
Fuck you, Google.
What will happen if I wave my dick and masturbate instead?
Don’t have a webcam on my desktop (main PC) and I have no intention of getting one.
Don’t worry, it will ask you to scan a QR code to complete the verification on your phone.
That made me chuckle
So what’s stopping me from using OBS as a virtual camera and feeding it a stream of stock footage of someone waving their hand?
This…
It can try, but I’m not doing that. I will stop using everything that requires it.
Yep. If the web requires ID to do anything I will only use it for banking and shit I already give my ID to. For everything else I’ll just pirate, or use tor/I2P until they lock me up.
All these fascist criminal pedophiles that want to control us can suck a big fat bag of dicks.
Google can turn on my webcam all it wants. They can’t see through the sticky tape anyways.
Saying “WILL” is clickbait.
As many have pointed out, they can’t force this.
They can definetly use signals like VPN usage, not allowing third-party cookies and whatever else to force this verification mode if they want to. They may not be doing it right now but nothing prevents them.
Uh yeah, it most certainly will not.
For reasons like this, my webcam is only plugged in when I actively need it.
Same!
I will return to monke
Copypasta.
“Google has added Hand gesture verification functionality to reCAPTCHA”
This title is clickbait, if we want Lemmy to be a competitor to Reddit we need to be better moderated than they are, not worse. Please report this post and OP to your instance admins.
Imagine actually believing that they don’t retain footage. Were you born yesterday?
Report this comment too. We can’t let Lemmy get overrun with the conspiracy-brained drama queens or we’ll never compete with Reddit.
Remember when Google told us that they didn’t keep/listen to the recordings from their smart speakers, then we found out that was a complete fucking lie?
So yeah no, fuck that.
Sounds like one of these things that people are scared is going to happen but will never actually happen
Chinese corporations and government have been doing this shit for years. Trying to use alipay on a trip to China was a dystopian nightmare lol. USA has only just started to catch up to them in terms of digital surveillance. This stuff and things like “Flock” that Americans are freaking out about right now are a completely normal fact of life over there.
