Archive.Today starting to use Google's QR-based reCaptcha (lemmy.ml)

Archive.Today starting to use Google's QR-based reCaptcha

#recaptcha #degoogle #datahoarder

The site has a few variant domains, unsure why, and archive.md, the one I'd been using, threw the QR reCaptcha just now, as per the attached image, while archive.today directly threw the good ol' "try to verify a dozen times" version.

The recaptcha may appear even when the user is not using a VPN if it grows suspicious, meaning the site may soon be inaccessible without bending to Google.

Because their domains keep getting blocked, because corporate media don’t like paywall bypasses, and they have deep pockets.
