I worked on a little piece on recaptcha a while ago[0]. I'm glad to see research around how this captcha method is actually as breakable as any, but the real problem continues to be that there is no separation between the data Google collects for advertising, and the data Google collects from the captcha service. Their privacy policy says they can link the captcha to your other online identity and use it to target you. It's especially cringeworthy to see lots of sites of dubious legality implement reCAPTCHA (like thepiratebay).
