I have a private plugin with puppeteer support for stuff like this, currently charging clients money to use it to fund the open source development. The clients are people who are already legally allowed to evade CAPTCHAS (e.g. governments, NGOs doing research, lawyers collecting evidence, etc.)
Unfortunatley I cant open source the CAPTCHA solving stuff myself, because it opens me up to liability, but if someone wants to contribute a plugin to the ecosystem I cant stop them ;).
- 0x1ch 2y agoLegally allowed to evade CAPTCHAs? LOL. What world do we live in where evading a captcha is an illegal offense?
- nikisweeting 2y agoIt doesn't matter whether or not it's actually legal, what matters is that the big platforms will sue you for trying, so you need a big bankroll to stand your ground. At the very least they can bar you from accessing their sites as you're violating ToS that you accept upon signup.
- pbronez 2y agoThat’s a pretty savvy open-core strategy: paywall features that create risk of legal liability so they are only used when there’s a paying customer/operator to assume that risk.
