Would downvote this if I could.

1) Google bough reCAPTCHA in the first place. 2) Google's latest captcha isn't even a captcha, you just click a button saying you are human and it analyzes your mouse movement and probably a fingerprint of sorts and you are in.

The article just isn't accurate and seems unnecessarily hateful about things that are not exactly true.

Google's latest reCAPTCHA is v3, which works behind the scenes to generate a 'trustworthiness' score for each user. There is no longer any button for the user to click. You're thinking of v2, I think.

I am talking about V3 it appears, just checked here https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html, at 0:11 on the splash video is the image I am talking about (https://youtu.be/tbvxFW4UJdU?t=11).

I guess I didn't mean a button, but a checkbox.
