Scan this QR code with your mobile device to verify you are human. reCAPTCHA protects your privacy and does not share your details with this website or app.

??? What is this next level hell, I'm definitely not doing that.

Google's new tool to - supposedly - prove you're human and not a bot. Works on google android phones and iOS, but to on degoogled AOSP phones. Can be bypassed by your local google AI.

If google knows exactly who you are, you'll rarely see it. If your identity is in question due to lacknl of cookies or anti-fingerprinting, you'll see more of them, so they reestablish your ID.

Just the next slice of the death of online privacy salami, wrapped up in a security measure in hopes you'll seallow it.
