Yeah this is the end of the private web if fully implemented unless it prompts a mass move to cloudflare by websites and they decline to do the same. Many sites would never change though, they have a solution, it works, doesn't work for you or too privacy invasive? Lol they don't care.

VPN? Doesn't matter, Google will see your real IP and all your info when you scan using your phone that they have full info on.

Private browsing extensions? Don't matter, you scanned using your phone, they know exactly who you are now.

Trying to spoof your location for some reason? Lol busted we see your phone.

I am seething most of all at all the "lol we'll just use tor and VPNs, ID laws cannot be enforced, me a tough and smart pirate" types. Funny thing on the piracy front too... 97% of piracy sites including private trackers are behind some sort of captcha, most use cloudflare not Google thankfully but you have to wonder how long until they implement something similar. And the reason why is some actors including rivals and maybe media company bandits were DDOSing the crap out of all of them a few years back, to stay online they had to get behind a solution like that.

Things like this and ID requirements which tech isn't fighting because AI made it impossible to sell ads because they can't pick out real humans have basically doomed the open anonymous web. It's going to be dead by 2030 at this rate. So really AI ruined the internet in multiple ways, first the slop and bots diluting real content then the crackdown and total removal of privacy/anonymity to fight to slop bots and of course paying to search or being coerced to use AI to sift through the slop. Really the ultimate capitalist move.
