- calmworm 6y agoThe facts of the complaint are that Google, Bing, and Baidu are secretly running or maybe influencing Cloudflare and they purposely implemented a non-accessible captcha to inhibit the smaller crawlers ability to build their index ... no, I don’t agree. Not based on a blurb that contains zero evidence or sources.
