⚡️🚨 NEW - Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA system that asks users to make simple hand gestures in front of their camera instead of solving image puzzles.

When used, the browser requests camera permission and records a short video of the user’s hand movements.

According to Google, it does not record audio and deletes the video after the check is complete, don’t believe them.

The new method aims to stop bots and AI tools that have become better at solving traditional CAPTCHAs. By verifying real hand movements, Google hopes to make it harder for automated attacks to create fake accounts or abuse websites.

Google says hand-gesture verification is an optional feature and will not replace existing image and audio challenges.

Modern camera's are sharp enough to record fingerprints - people who use this are risking more than they think...

Nice try, fed.

As if an AI can't generate a video of someone doing a hand gesture. This is probably easier for AI to get passed just more expensive because generating videos is more expensive

Liar liar pants on fire, or in this case your privacy.

AI agents will just opt out and solve image puzzles 🤣 🤣 🤣 But eventually, Google will switch it to become obligatory 🥵 🥵 🥵

It's just the nth push towards biometry... BTW see both relevant - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11042-019-08182-z - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256010598_Fingerprint_Recognition_with_Embedded_Cameras_on_Mobile_Phones

they saw that the age verification was being very rejected and now they are looking for ways to get you to do it without you realizing that they are doing an age verification.

Google's latest ploy to harvest biometric data, courtesy of Sundar Pichai's surveillance state ambitions.

"Optional" until it is made mandatory. That's how the regime always rolls these out.

Biometric data for access, a symptom of a surveillance state, akin to China's social credit system, where control outweighs currency.

Ah yes. Show them your fingerprint 🫆 that’ll show them we value freedom and privacy
