Google's next-gen reCAPTCHA system could spell trouble for de-Googled phones (www.androidauthority.com)

  • Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.

  • Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.

  • This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.

Yeah, so the hundreds of us won't be able to use the internet anymore if this passes

Awesome

Google doesn't care about screwing up the lives of thousands of people, as long as it can capture the information of millions.

We will (actually already have) make our own Internet, with blackjack, and hookers.

At this part I'm genuinely starting to wonder which parts of the internet I really need.
