If you are going to "quote" me, please do not alter or add to my words.

A simple copy and past works???

Well having a quick skim of what it's all about, Recaptcha is a software program designed to slow down the economy of the U.S.A. and by extension, every other bugger..

It does this by sapping morale and reducing man hours available to real intended tasks in the computer workplace environment.

Automated cars crashing into semis springs to mind.

Thanks for the chuckle.

I believe the next step would be a tee shirt campaign.....

Turns out the leaf blower at work actually sucked ...we should call it Google.

Sophisticated clickbait in effect.

It also mean users are agreeing to Google's privacy infringing terms and conditions on third party sites.... freedom of choice reducing mechanism.

And of course forcing software /system changes. ( for your protection :roll: I LOVE using IE)

If it was any other company this would be the subject of a lawsuit.
Thought I would post as this scourge of the net is spreading.

I still remembered when I and my friend were in hurry, we got confused with it.
When I tried to search something with Google, but it appears, I will move to DuckDuckGo or something similar. DuckDuckGo saved myself from that images

I use Duckduckgo most of the time, but if there is something it can't/doesn't find I resort to Google just for the bigger database.
