Two questions:
- Couldn't a computer just temporarily hire a human to prove there is a human involved?
- Why are we using recaptcha or verifying humanity anyway? I understand stopping spam, scams, and fraud, but scraping already public data doesn't present significant harm.
- mcv 8y agoYeah, it shouldn't be used to limit public data. The main use is to prevent spammers from spamming fora or registering thousands of throwaway email addresses.
