#43What if you don't have a cam or a hand?
You are then our of the normal probability distribution and out of luck, it's not profitable to cater for you for the company.

#44Not gonna happen. Ever. If a web requires me to do this to access it, I simply refuse. The last time I needed some web was my electricity company - sent them a ticket with a complaint. They replied with some bs like "your browser is simply not supported" so I kept sending them the same ticket over and over again until I got a real response and it seems they decided to change the system. To use my favorite quote: That…
Yeah I’ve already warned my discord friends that the moment I have to show my ID I’m out of there without a goodbye. It sucks, but I just can’t compromise further. Personal ID’s are an absolute red line.

I wonder if anyone has thought about what happens if and when Google (or others) gets bought out. No firm lasts forever.
It is not possible to buy a 4 trillion public company
Valuations are not permanent. Amazon dropped 90% during the dotcom bubble. And there is always another financial crisis coming.

#46Is it weird that my reaction to all of this is that I am just going to drop these websites when they ask me for this?
No, but what would you do if it's a government required service?
Then I would opt not to use the computer for this task, and instead call, visit, mail, or fax the government agency.

Companies do and will simply label customers who repeatedly "protest" in such a manner as "vexatious" and use that as a justification to deny service. Utilities will probably be last due to regulations around providing utilities but other important companies will do it.

The IRS wanted a full 3d scan of my face to prove identity AFTER I already had a working account used every year for the past 3+ years. They asked for feedback after I canceled the login, I gave very candid feedback in a form. Then they asked if I would give an interview. You know why I wanted to log in? To claim a $7 refund. They ended up mailing it.
I wonder if the identity requirements are lowered if you owe them money?

Then you sign in using your eID which is both highly secure and tied to your personal identity. Government services don't need 3rd party are-you-a-human verification, not when your account is tied to your identity. (this is from the Netherlands where you can use digID [0] to sign into government services and ID-bound 3rd parties like insurance, mortgages, pensions etc) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiD
I thought recently there was a kerfuffle about DigiD being tied to an American data farming company

#50Doesn't surprise me at all and seems like a good solution to the problem of human verification. It won't take long for AI to catch up to that, but this captcha method might hold for a couple of months. Not sure what problem everybody here is having with this. The alternative would be device certificate stuff (ala did Apple sign for this being a proper Apple device?). Having to shake your hand sounds a lot more privac…
>this captcha method might hold for a couple of months
So stripping away user privacy even more is justified for implementing an already obsolete verification method?
