What data is being sent to Google? Besides the user interacting with Google to solve the captcha? Or is that the problem?

the ip, any fingerprinting that the captcha code does.

so in effect google can tie you to this visit later if you interact with anything that has a captcha. now these two thinks are liked in the borg’s memory.

so if you use google (anything while logged in, even once) now google knows everything else you do
