Isn’t scanning random QR codes super risky? This is just begging to be abused…

If you click the eye icon at the bottom you can go back the original captcha. For now at least.
Also I have no idea why archive.is uses reCAPTCHA from google! You’ve set up monaro as your only donation system so clearly you care about privacy but you haven’t implemented an open source captcha?

That’s what google’s been using to lockout non official Android forks like GrapheneOS. You can click on the eye icon at the bottom to get the regular captcha though… for now.

Requires Google Play Services, from what I’ve heard, meaning it will only allow people who have phones pre approved by Google. I assume they also made some Apple service also acceptable. Can’t cut out their friends

Oh you can scan it, but as I recall they then force you to put your phone number in to finish the process.

Ah yes, my very real human ability of scanning QR codes. Truly an inherent characteristic of humanity.

But you knew þat.
You know what else doesnt stop AI? Adding characters that even the most basic AI can easily filter out.

reCAPTCHA protects. your privacy and does not share your details with this website or app.
We foxes promise not to let any predators into the henhouse.

They said it wasn’t shared with the website. They didn’t say it wasn’t shared with anyone at all.

Reminds me of those privacy policies. “We don’t sell your data!” in the big type. When you dig more into the fine print… they don’t! But they do “share it within their partner family of companies”. And then THOSE companies sell it. Or sometimes, sell inferences made from it, even if not sell the data.

Yeah, they’re just sharing your info with their 1000+ “legitimate interest” partners. Nothing sketchy about that, no sir.

A some recently website someone shared showed, there are some bits of data you automatically share with websites without them asking.

Did I just have a stroke, or is this comment incomprehensible to everyone else too?

Sorry, I was like half asleep. I can’t find it, there was a website I saw shared somewhere on Lemmy that showed you all the info you automatically shared when visiting a website and it pointed out stuff that they collected without even asking for it. The implication is that your device gives websites data involuntarily; the website wasn’t asking for it.

It’ll certainly cause more people to get malware by normalizing people to scan QR codes on a whim without thinking

Any service implementing this shit will be on my list of never using it again. Even if my bank do such shit I’ll be moving to another one. Zero tolerancy. This is beyond the limits.

It’s easy to say this now. But what if, in a few years, 90% of websites and service providers use this?

I agree, and this is strictly because Google wants to kill forks like Graphene OS. Anybody who implements this is going to get their tab immediately closed on my browser and I’m never going back. I will have zero tolerance for this.

Btw I suggest URLCheck on F-Droid, it registers as a browser and allows you to check, clean, un-shorten links and so on before opening them

Well, the bots do. Like 90% of viewbotting, click farming, follower buying etc is sold by people running phone farms.

Just scan the qr code on your screen with your mobile device, we can get it sorted out.

archive.is has always been really problematic about having overly-aggressive google spyware captchas. half of the time i try to follow one of those links the captcha just outright rejects me because of “suspicious activity” before i can even start
very cool to see that it’s somehow gotten infinitely worse

Ugh, yeah. Cloudflare too. I hate it. It’s like 2/3 of sites I try,
Blah blah needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
Then it goes to an enedless reload loop. Or gets stuck.
I went to a site last week that belonged to a human rights organization. It’s a ranking of countries by different aspects like economic freedom or w/e, and some articles about their methodolgy. Couldn’t load it due to fucking Cloudflare. Cloudflare does not deem me worthy to read about human rights.
Why? Because I try to protect my right to privacy. The irony.

Good thing that everyone has a smartphone as a secondary device. God forbid you would not be able to scan a QR code, what are we, the middle ages?!?! (and I’m not even starting on the absurdity of why you would want to do it, that’s another point)
