I wish the widespread fervent hatred against the "user is over 18" checkbox was applied to, like, Cloudflare captchas, or something that actually matters.

- iamnothere 7mo agoCloudflare does not force FOSS devs to implement changes and accept potential legal liability, while opening the door to future legislative spec-by-fiat. There is a world of difference.
- pocksuppet 7mo agoyes... it did? If you're a FOSS browser developer, Cloudflare forced you to pass Cloudflare browser fingerprinting and implement enough JavaScript to pass the CAPTCHA. Which is much harder than an over-18 checkbox.
- iamnothere 7mo agoLegally? Like through the law? If I don’t pass CAPTCHA I get fined and/or go to jail? Wow that sucks!
