ADA? Americans with Disabilities Act? Why would that have any bearing on user agent randomization?
- Mirioron 8y agoI think he means that having people fill out recaptcha all the time because they don't allow Google to track them should be an ADA violation.
- rtkwe 8y agoAgain I still don't see how not wanting Google to track you should qualify as a disability under the ADA.
- Mirioron 8y agoNonono, disabled people might be barred from using a service because of excessive recaptcha. That's what he means. I also think he really meant CVAA rather than ADA though.
- rtkwe 8y agoLooks like they provide an appropriate alternative for people with vision disabilities: https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en That only really leaves blind deaf people out, at which point we might be reaching the limits of any technology to provide access to everyone without a tooooon of work.
- TheAceOfHearts 8y agoAs someone already pointed out in another reply, you don't get this option if you score low enough.
- rtkwe 8y agoYeah but most people won't trigger that. Seems like most of the complaints here about triggering it often are from people who are blocking js/cookies/randomizing user strings. The NoCaptcha check box itself is better than the old system where everyone had to do the Captcha at least.
- Bonooru 8y agoI think the argument boils down to "how do you fill out the captcha if you use a screen reader"?
- rtkwe 8y agoThey already have an accommodations for the visually impaired with the audio captchas. https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en
- darkpuma 8y agoIf you score low enough on their automatic checks, they refuse to serve you the audio challenge.
- PurpleBoxDragon 8y agoWhat about the deafblind?
- rtkwe 8y agoWhat's their solution for any other website? It seems like they'd have a very difficult time accessing ANY site. In a quick search it seems like NoCaptcha is the accessible answer for the issues with regular Captchas. For the most part it seems to work, most of the complaints here seem to stem from people trying to actively block some of the evaluation metrics used by the checkbox (cookies,javascript,user strings,fingerprinting,etc) which makes them look very different from normal traffic which kind of by necessity makes them look a lot more like bots. https://simplyaccessible.com/article/googles-no-captcha/ https://simplyaccessible.com/article/googles-no-captcha/
