Does anyone know the real implications of the CCPA for things like Sift Science, Google's Recaptcha, and maybe even Cloudflare?
All of these are based on many companies contributing information about users to create profiles which curb abuse. And Sift/Google/etc. get commercial benefit from this data sharing, which might trigger the CCPA. But you can't give bad actors the ability to opt out of this kind of data sharing without crippling them.
I think these kind of companies are really important to a functioning internet. I hope there are carve outs of some sort, but seems like they're living on the edge right now.
- matty22 7y agoIf Recaptcha gets the ax due to CCPA, the internet will be better off for it.
- milesskorpen 7y agoThere needs to be some way to identify non-humans and/or malicious actors.
- 0xffff2 7y agoMalicious actors? Yes. Non-humans? No. If my bot is playing by the same rules a human would, what do you care as a website operator?
- HALtheWise 7y agoDo you have a proposed alternative way of preventing spam? Neural networks basically mean that any traditional captcha too hard for a bot is also too hard for a human.
