Wow. So you will need a mobile device in future to browse the web, and Google will use mobile device identifier to de-anonymize you. And I assume they also carefully designed this to make life little harder for alternative search engines, their competitors. And probably they will not provide collected user data to competing advertising platforms to make them less competitive as well.
Also the example is ridiculous, that you need to scan a QR code to place an order. Maybe they should require filing a visa application as well.
I will stop using those websites altogether.
You know, its funny, I don't think I've ever seen captcha on HN once.
You need one to sign up lately I believe. Which is really all it takes if your identity is required for the captcha and gets associated with your account forevermore.
Well, internet is dead anyway so they can keep the keys to the kingdom. I frankly do not care anymore. The meek shall inherit the Earth
