Are you using Googles reCAPTCHA on your website? Now is the time to stop. https://theintercept.com/2018/03/06/google-is-quietly-providing-ai-technology-for-drone-strike-targeting-project/
Is there a great FLOSS alternative for this type of thing? Please let me know!
@forteller i use python's `captcha` library for making "distorted text" captchas on my site, for these and other reasons
you'd be surprised how many people complain about distorted text captchas, they're difficult to solve for humans (and not so hard for bots)
so i really think it's time for an accessible foss captcha system!
@cyanaurora You should have a look at this then :) https://cybre.space/@zyabin101/99643558176220764
@forteller that's awesome! i really like it
i disagree that the purpose of a captcha is "To keep bots from submitting forms", though. in my case, the purpose is actually to prevent bots from seeing my stuff
plus, i need to block targetted botting (https://github.com/subwindow/negative-captcha#possible-gotchas-and-other-concerns)
