and the only realistic way to achieve that is to make the people using their service reconsider.
So what exactly will naming the site achieve? If someone wants to boycott recaptcha (which I’m 100% onboard with, btw) they’ll just not comply with the captcha and leave the site when they encounter it. On the other hand, someone who would not otherwise visit the site cannot reduce traffic to the site by direct action. Telling their friends “don’t use that site, it uses recaptcha” is no more effective than telling them “don’t use any site that requires you to do QR recaptchas.”
Recaptcha is a service offered by Google. It doesn’t matter on which site the user encountered the QR code verification request - the problem is with Google (the company.)
Google. It’s their recaptcha service doing that. The QR code validation also gets rejected if you’re using a privacy oriented mobile OS like Graphene.
