If I get hit with one of these I'm pressing back on that website. I don't have a camera and I'm not giving them that much data for free.

It'll get to a point where using captcha will lose the website traffic and sales and it won't be worth it in the long run if people don't give in to this shit.

I wish I could go up to everyone who complies and fine them $20 for the damage they've done to society.
