The QR code validation also gets rejected if you're using a privacy oriented mobile OS like Graphene. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] markz@suppo.fi 50 points 2 months ago At the cost of conditioning people into following orders from random qr codes permalink fedilink source parent [–] dieTasse@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago* (1 child) you mean it was google,com?

So what exactly will naming the site achieve? If someone wants to boycott recaptcha (which I'm 100% onboard with, btw) they'll just not comply with the captcha and leave the site when they encounter it. On the other hand, someone who would not otherwise visit the site cannot reduce traffic to the site by direct action. Telling their friends "don't use that site, it uses recaptcha" is no more effective than telling them "don't use any site that requires you to do QR recaptchas." permalink fedilink source parent
