Cruel And Prejudiced Test Completely Harming Accessibility
Imagine a non-native-english speaking visually impaired grandma trying to register to a random web service. CAPTCHAs are not a problem, people say, there are the audio versions, so go for it! Oh, you were never able to pick a language? Too bad you dont speak english. Oh, your hearing is not the best? You are clearly not a human, official stamp from SV. Why? Oh, we just couldn't think of any other solution, so we implemented CAPTCHA and just dumped you and your pesky disabled friends. What?! You want to cross the digital divide? Not as long as we are in power!
- rapnie 3y agoOh, you've managed to find the section for the visually impaired? Surveillance Capitalism Ltd. is happy to get to know you.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoThat makes no sense in this case since you have to pay for MAX anyway.
- lynx23 3y agoThats one absurdity. Having to solve a CAPTCHA for a payed account. What are they afraid of? Another absurdity is having to solve a CAPTCHA for an already existing account with usage history. Lenovo wanted me to solve a CAPTCHA after login before I could submit a new ticket. This is madness.
