That wouldn't really help much, because then a bot owner just needs to solve one CAPTCHA, receive the "I'm not a robot" cookie, then hand it over to their bot.

- nxzero 11y agoRight, which is the issue, CAPTCHA's don't work.
- noxToken 11y agoDisagree. They don't work if you only show one CAPTCHA. Your proposal defeats the entire purpose, because it only takes human interaction once to defeat CAPTCHA over CloudFlair's entire network. CAPTCHA isn't a silver bullet, and I don't think anyone is lauding it as the end-all be-all to stop spammers and malicious activity.
- nxzero 11y agoHave you used TOR and experienced what Cloudflair does? The server 3-10 tests per page requested in some instances collecting massive amount to training data; I'd in fact be suprise do if Google doesn't place an incentive on collecting as much data as possible; likely enough to ID a user 99% of the time based on the input provided by the user. As for it not being a silver bullet, it's well known that CAPTCHA don't stop bots, but mine data from people. There's not a single Google "I'm not a robot" that can't easily be circumvented, I just know most TOR users aren't able to and Google & Cloadflair are exploiting this.
