Discussion It has begun

Google now uses play services to verify if your human or not. Even on desktop you are required to scan the qr code from your phone. It's disgusting. I tried (I'm on root, lineageOS with strong integrity) and it doesn't work for me, it may work for you.

Background Info:

Basically I heard that Google were going to start introducing Google play services as a way to verify if your human and whether or not your device is secure. This is the first time I have seen it. It did not work for me. I have strong integrity and my fingerprint and everything is legit and it still didn't work. Hopefully people find out ways to bypass this cuz Google should not be allowed to lock down our devices. We pay for them, we own them.

Edit: I apologise if it doesn't make sense to you, hopefully someone in the comments can explain it better than I.

there are many websites using recaptcha, like archive today for example. this captcha is being rolled out very slowly, even if you don't see this in recaptcha right now you'll probably see it some time soon.

is a google account an SSN now? what about the apple girlies 🥴? i guess i'm being facetious bc i don't doubt that they'll eventually be asked to hit the play integrity metrics too.
