🚨Forget security – Google's reCAPTCHA v2 is exploiting users for profit 🚨  Read more at: "https://lnkd.in/gEVNmrz2" Web puzzles don't protect against bots, but humans have spent 819 million unpaid hours solving them Google’s reCAPTCHA v2 has faced scrutiny after a recent report revealed that it may be exploiting labor from individuals in developing countries. The system, designed to protect websites from bots, has been found to rely on users completing tasks that contribute to data labeling and machine learning projects—often without their explicit knowledge or fair compensation. This raises significant ethical and transparency questions about how tech companies handle user-generated data and labor. As we continue to advance in cybersecurity and digital technologies, it's crucial to consider the broader impact on global labor practices and ensure that our systems are both secure and fair. #Cybersecurity #Ethics #TechNews #DataPrivacy #reCAPTCHA #BSidesBangalore
