Google owes its existence to the open web, but today, its technological “innovations” have much to do with locking users into a “walled garden.” The latest of these is “reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification,” an experimental initiative that will let companies block users if they are running independent, "de-googled" versions of Android. These “indie Android” versions are favored by people who want to protect their privacy and their attention by blocking trackers and ads.

lol, that is quite alright… saving me the effort of figuring out what scumbags they are in a less convenient way. I don’t want to be doing business with these people anyway.
Behold a party full of creeps and corrupt capitalists. YOU aren’t allowed in!
Yeah man, that’s why i went out of my way to not go to your stupid party to begin with.
Oh no, punish me by making me go outside and engage in my community. Oh nooooo less brain rot doomscrolling.
