The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.
I actually believe them. It’s gonna start out this way. But in a year or two, they’ll quietly slip in a provision stating they will hold on to the images for a short time for security purposes, then they will say that they will associate your image with your identity to make it more secure, then Google’s AI will know everything about everyone (and sell the info to the highest bidder)
I believe them as well from a very literal perspective. The video will be deleted but the metadata that is created from the video will not.
100% this. The fingerprint is what they use for reidentification.
I’ve spoken to a number of companies in this space while searching for one that uses a ZKP and a user-held VC of the fingerprint vs the server storing it (for use with a Linux Foundation labs project). I ended up rolling my own using FOSS face models.
My desktop doesn’t have a webcam hum, oh wellz
that’s ok it’s optional, the op is baiting you guys like you’re moronic enough to fall for it
oh wait you guys are gg
Whether or not it’s optional it’s still pretty dystopian. And I think we’ve seen the path before where something optional but “more secure” becomes mandatory and everything else gets shut off.
hand gestures on webcam are already used to verify id, this is nothing new
maybe to lemmy who don’t have jobs
I will not do this. Whatever services require this i will not use.
If I have to do this to log into my email one last time as I’m migrating out, I will write off all emails there as lost. If my phone makes me do it to unlock it, I will go out and by an iPhone on the spot. That makes me want to puke typing that out, because I hate iPhones, but I’ll do it.
Do Google employees actually do anything other than sit around thinking of ways to make things worse? In the last few years we’ve had web environment integrity (thankfully that one seems to have been dropped), gutting the AOSP to the point where it’s practically unusable on its own, Android developer verification, play integrity, QR code captchas and now this
Calling it: In the future we will learn that they have been using it to gather face recognition data and have been using it to track their users in the real world by partnering with the likes of Flock.
It says in the docs:
"## Accessibility
For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives."
So it seems you can just do a different task if you don’t want to do the hand thing anyway.
Edit: obligatory F google still of course.
For now.
Also the last time I tried using the audio option on recaptcha it felt like a psychotic break.
Google can verify I’m a human by not using Google.
I would love to not have YT in every corner of the internet though. I wonder how developers of Youtube forks will deal with this?
You need another YouTube. Free for anyone to post, the same volume, the same storage. Nebula is elite and paid. You and I can’t post on it. The others I’ve seen contain a handful of conspiracy theorists and Linux people.
Conspiracy theorists and Linux people? You sonofabitch I’m in
