A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Okay, this "$1 trillion" metric is a bit of a reach, and seems to be based on an arbitrary value assigned to an estimated amount of data Google has collected, and not actually $1,000,000,000,000 in revenue. It does not appear that Google has actually made a trillion dollars from CAPTCHA data.
