ReCAPTCHA (A Google Service) Privacy Concerns - Hackdot

Every captcha I've encountered thus far has been pretty Americentric, and almost by definition, discriminatory against non-Americans[1].

Doubly so against non-Americans with disabilities.

Captcha makers really need to A/B test their product across a wider global sample of people, before they deploy.

On hcaptcha being worse, for those of us using Tor Browser, hcaptcha is significantly less painful than recaptcha - https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=25227431

hCaptcha is in fact tested this way, and has pretty consistent accuracy across hundreds of countries:
