What if you don’t have a webcam?

“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,”

Security is as good as the weakest link, either bots will exploit the accessibility feature making the webcam step for humans unnecessary.. or its just as secure… making the webcam step unnecessary.

Blatent attempt to extract data from you and nothing more if you ask me.

I'm not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.

Curious to know where you went. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay

Went to Walmart.com, which is not great either. I bought something on eBay yesterday and it was fine so they must just be testing or it was a glitch.

Yeah nah, ebay > walmart. I'd rather not support a loud and proud trump supporting company
