Google and Cloudflare both are not just looking at entropy of mouse movements, that was cracked years ago, they are fingerprinting you and correlating your session with all your activity cross domains to score your botlike behavior.
- potamic 3mo agoI doubt they are doing it. You just have to get on a VPN to and see yourself being flooded with captchas despite browsing the web like a normal human and solving dozens of captchas along the way.
- alightsoul 3mo agoI guess that raises the bot score given that the vpn IP is a data Center IP and thus in a lot of ban lists
- acdha 3mo agoAlso some of the free VPN apps support themselves by proxying this kind of traffic: https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/what-is-wrong-with-free-vpn-services/51721/ https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/what-is-wrong-with-free-vpn-s...

- crote 3mo agoHow is that not a massive GDPR violation?
- inigyou 3mo agoYou can just break the law, if you don't get caught, especially if you're rich.
- alightsoul 3mo agoThey can just not do it in Europe and keep doing it everywhere else
- tremon 3mo agoProfiling visitor traffic to protect against abuse is a legitimate use case, even for GDPR. It's only a violation if that usage is not disclosed in the ToS.
