Is the recaptcha on Google search engine, apps, android os more than one? or is it strictly 3rd party websites?

I'm actually afraid the opposite might actually happen.

if users (especially new potential users to the Fediverse.) find that social media requires them to id verifiy most of them will probably just either stick to a narrow smaller few of sites they know people use, or they'l obsolete themselves from the social media aspects of the internet entirely.

I actually want to find out how Google will get out of this one. Without any type of lobbying. Even in the u.s ai search promp resualts are technically considered Googles own speech and they are legally responsible. Sadly no one in government seems interested in enforcing ai and even where there is there is this push to take the power from the states to regulate ai.

Why can't people talk about flock in a public forum? They claim its because there's lots of them. I think it's because they just don't want to hear what people think about it. Some kind of ai spy tracking agenda.

Here's a legal tip you likely don't hear everyday.

Wear clothing worn by a smaller percent. This could reduce the chance of false accusations if you truly are innocent. I mean in this specific case it probally could.

or just let people opt out entirely flat out?

Realistically what good would it do once you already had scraped the pattern of news sites it's already over. All this is doing in actuality is preventing new start ups from competing in the ai space. so really this is the fastest enshitification world record of a medium. Whether you like or hate ai this is actually an enshitification of it. ( I hate ai.)

This is literally impossible even with ai and a dangerous bill for big tech. While for smaller Fediverse Communities it's much much easier to moderate that type of content since

a. we don't have to rely on a corporation to provide the tools we need.
b. you would only be responsible (I think) for content on your own local feeds. However if you are responsible for federated content appealing as well, might want to federate with servers with some type of user verification (not id verification) but like verifying your use purpose of a server they are joining. and defederate from other servers that are not moderating their local feeds.

That's what i'm concerned about.

Hopefully ai bot traffic isn't surpassing human users yet on the Fediverse.

How easy is it to just install a firewall and block the parent moderating app from getting any data?

Can they actually force a write of a large file to test it or do they look at your specs? If they can actually force a large file writing whether it's 100 mb or 50 gb, 1tb this isn't even really a privacy issue it's just a, tech companies can just step all over you and your ardwae st to make sure your human or to make sure they can track your preferences.
