I'm guessing it's going to lock the non-sighted//keyboard only users out of the anonymous Internet. I'm guessing if you log in and give up your anonymity they'll consider you not a bot.

If that's true, attackers just need to run their bots under registered throwaway accounts...

The account will require a phone number and the US is trying to move away from burner phones. As long as we don't commit thought crimes and we love Big Brother all will be well.

That's even worse

Why worry? Just send them a photo of your ID and you'll be fine. /s

cmd+F mouse movement 3 result, 3/3: "Mouse movement is just one example of the signals Precursor evaluates"

just like how smartphone developers, engineers locked people with no smartphone.Some of the users that can no longer get services are really old people, disabled. In some well developed places on earth, you can't even check in flights without a smartphone, it's not even possible to travel for them.

Yet all people are ok with it
