Google killed Captcha and entered reCaptcha

Maybe old news for you, but for the ones who do not know yet, Google killed Captcha in March this year. And I was thinking "Right on!"

But now I am not that sure about this anymore. I will tell you why.

Big Brother Google is watching you

How does Google separate human actions from bots?
They watch your movement on the Internet.
They look at your surfing habit.
They even follow your mouse movement.
They know enough to kill Captcha and move on to Recaptcha


reCAPTCHA: Tough on Bots, Easy on Humans

Google knows

How much does Google know about you?
They know your IP address.
They know which browser plugins you have.
They know your preferences of surfing.
They know your monitor resolution.
They know what your search.
They know where you are, even in which shop.
They know which apps you have.
They know which subscriptions you have on YouTube.
They know what groups you are in on G+
They know what you share, like and comment on.
They know YOU!

Google selects your ads

But! Google gives you the chance to avoid certain ads!

Ads settings for Google

You can delete everything you don't want, and you can add subjects of your own interest. Ain't that nice of Google?

Interesting

Yes, they keep records of everything

I don't like what your wrote. But it's a fact. They now more about me than I do. But what can we do? Actually not much. Except we give up the internet. But do we want that? No, otherwise we would have done it long time ago.
Thanks for sharing Loes!

You can tease them and leave your phone at home once in a while;)

Awwww - maybe they even love us (and want us to love them!)

Yes, it's true love;)

What about the comments here at WA on our websites, do Google know where they are coming from? Thanks for the update Loes.

Yes, they have your IP

Thanks Loes for your post. Google certainly knows everything. I clicked on the Ads setting link in your post and there was my Gmail address!

I will revisit this post to learn more about Google Ads settings.

They still follow you with preferences

A key question is what they will DO with that data Loes!

Try to sell you anything

True!

Unfortunately, yes

And it is only just the beginning. The ability to store and analyze data is growing at a tremendous rate. We can only deal with it. Watch your preferences on sites. And be careful about sites that you visit. The change by Kyle and Carson to give us https sites was a huge step for site protection. Always maintain due diligence and stay current. Thanks for the reminder Loes.

Yes I am really pleased they did give us secured websites Doug:)

Good information
Than ks Loes

Thanks David:)

Yes, Google & Co. knows everything about us... that's not nice, and I really don't like it! Changing the settings is recommended, you are right!
