Cloudflare wants to replace CAPTCHAs with Turnstile – techcrunch.com/2022/09/28/clou

“Turnstile automatically chooses a browser challenge based on ‘telemetry and client behavior exhibited during a session,’ Cloudflare says, rather than factors like login cookies. After running non-interactive JavaScript challenges to gather signals about the visitor and browser environment and using AI models to detect features and visitors who’ve passed a challenge before. . . .”

None of that sounds like an improvement. At all.

And CloudFlare isn’t even bashful about the fact that this will let them track users around the web. Even on websites that don’t use their CDN but choose to implement this free service.

@privacybrowser The modern web is a pile of crap right now and those kind of news just make me feel sad because it's becoming shittier.
