The latest captchas and cloudflare-turnstile approve you because the google-cloud flare networks have already determined who you are as an individual and just wave you through.
Tor gets the checks because they don’t know who you are and are seeing you for the first time. Getting a captcha means your privacy strategy is working.
It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.
If it’s black coffee no sugar then you’re pretty much avoiding a blood sugar spike lol.
Last I checked computers talk in English /s
The children yearn for the coal mines
Given their niche tech skills, they should probably be ok.
Computer security is difficult, citation needed
Lol. There is no poisoning. They want to see where you are on the Internet. You’re just helping the ad companies get a better profile so they can sell you at a higher price. Not to mention they’re not idiots and can just exclude all the 20 clicks that happen in the first second of viewing a page, and look at the one click that happens after hanging out on a website for a while.
If you want to poison their database, then actually use vpn/mullvad/tor, and give fake data on forms.
Google is more secure. Through email is more private. Theoretically.
Google claims they don’t monitor the sign in with Google for their data collection. So signing in with Google means you authenticate with Google and then Google tells udemy you are who you are. Don’t cite me but I’m pretty sure Google’s authentication security is one of the best compared to almost all sites. And that’s before you sign up for their more advanced account protection. Since this is the privacy sub you should be aware that if Google is lying, then they’ll know every time you sign into Udemy.
A middle ground is that Google knows every time your browser needs an authentication token for Udemy, so worse case they know your an active Udemy user when you get a new token every 30 days.
E-mails is a one and done deal. Google knows you created a Udemy account. Google does not know how active you are as user (again they claim the sign in data is only for security and not used for advertising). Which is probably a moot point, their AI can read the Udemy “wow you beat your record this week” email vs the Udemy “we haven’t seen you in a week” email.
Also wtf, get a proton mail account (yes I’m a shill for them).
Nice try YouTube.
But also, TLDW?
No no no, the extended dip during the water wars can look like a failed state for the layman, but I’d argue it’s not even the end of the first act, as evidenced by epics and myths toiletpaper scripts we’ve collected from the wandering tribes of NordMerica.
Can somebody give me the theological reasons for this? Also which one is the heretic?
Is the one true god trying to tell us something?
No, it’s the sinful peasants who are revolting again.
It’s a massive oversimplification. But with captcha systems everywhere, they’re able to see you visit a newspaper, visit the journal site, try to download a journal pdf, and captcha is able to easily conclude that you’re a human and have automatic approval.
Maybe if you’re going straight to a site for the first time today it would measure your single mouse click. And then from there tracking you across the Internet, assuming you’re online for maybe 6 hours like 99% of connected humans.
Tor blocks all the fingerprinting, and anonymizes the ip address. Captcha is only able to see a computer arrive at the website requesting access. Captcha’s only tool is to give challenges which the bots are able to beat. So they make you run the challenge multiple times, seeing how long it takes your or randomizing how many times you’re willing to do them.
