They will use this for ads as well ( eventually) you will have to watch them to use any of their services unless you pay.
PLEASE DRINK VERIFICATION CAN!
It’s finally going to be real :D but also :(
Please jump for joy.
Yeah I’m done with the Internet ( main sites) if we get to that point.

Fool me 17,695 times, shame on me.
Fires up obs. Loads new scene. Attaches image.
Share virtual camera.
Omegle figured this out years ago.
Virtual Camera -> video of a wave.
A few jobs ago, people tried doing this the high-tech way, for a regulated banking service.
Hilarious, seeing all the creative workarounds.
The fuck I will.
Oh look more mass surveillance
Ok, but I don’t want to grant strange web pages access to my camera, so they can fuck right off.
I don’t even have a camera ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I highly doubt they’ll even ask, why follow the law when it’s in your pocket? They’ll just highjack your camera and microphone whenever they want
Don’t worry, billions won’t mind, and if you don’t follow suit then no internet for you.
They know exactly what they are doing.
They don’t need your consent as an individual, they’re on a take it or leave it basis because they know the vast majority is too uninformed or unprincipled to care.
And then you’ll be in the minute fraction that can’t access shit and basically cut off from being online.
My pc doesnt have a webcam you freaks.
No worries. Just send a photo of your passport, a bank statement proving your residence, and your telephone number that is connected to your personal identity by law (which it is in almost every country now).
We are not fighting hard enough.
They won’t accept that. They want RTV of those docs, including biometrics of your face.
I’ve seen hCaptcha and other things just let people solve things by dragging stuff with the mouse. I bet those are much more reliable at detecting real people without having to resort to such deep invasion of privacy. Fuck Goofle.
But that doesn’t let them link your browser activity on your computer to your phone, and tben sell your browsing habits and biometrics data
That method is mentioned in the article.
“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 what’s the point?
Speed/convenience.
It’s like phones people use their thumb or face to unlock even though that’s objectively less secure than a good password.
I feel like this is a slow boil eventually they will make it mandatory that you need to have your fave scanned.
It’s worth mentioning by 2027 all new vehicles have to have facial scanners installed and they watch you 247.
They also disable the “accessible” captchas on a whim when they feel like it, so this is also a lie.
Are you new? That option will eventually go away. Especially for people who cannot confirm that they need it.
Instead of coming up with a better way to do all this, they’ll spend that time and money coming up with a way to confirm that people are actually blind and actually need the alternative method.
Just go ahead and give us access to your medical records to confirm. We promise to use this information in a completely normal way, and will certainly not abuse it at all. We can be trusted with your data.

Too bad. You’re welcome back to partake in The Internet once you do!
I suspect a lot of people will just decide they don’t want to use your website that badly.
I don’t have a web cam, so I guess I don’t need your website that badly

Bull. Shit.
I’m willing to believe they toss out the video - after they process it and extract all the positioning and timing information. Toss the bulky vid and keep the metadata.
In fact - similar to how a police officer might erase a recording so the most reliable testimony is their thoughts‡ - once the original video is lost, the metadata becomes the only source of truth.
‡(At ~40 minute mark, the officer describes how he transcribes then erases tape recordings)
“Our database doesn’t have this column”
