Google's "NoCaptcha Recaptcha" is slave labor. #81

Google's "NoCaptcha ReCaptcha" product is slave labor. It is illegal, and it needs to be stopped.

Google is using this system to force millions of Americans and foreigners to "tag" their massive database of photographs without any form of compensation. This has been going on for years and it needs to stop.

The system presents a user with a series of photographs and asks the user to identify which photographs contain specific key elements such as cars, street signs, store fronts, and so on. If the user doesn't cooperate they cannot continue their internet activity. This is a clear violation of both the spirit and letter of United States labor laws.

Here is a link to my personal blog post on the issue: https://tailpuff.net/googles-nocaptcha-recaptcha-is-slave-labor/

You should not be promoting or supporting "NoCaptcha ReCaptcha" in any way.
