Heh, hCaptcha is the only thing I dread and hate more than ReCAPTCHA. It pretty much always triggers and it always wants me to find something very american, like US school busses on images where it&#x27;s not really clear what they actually expect of me.<p>These services that use us as free workforce need to go away.

Funny title as I have privacy concerns when it comes to cloudflare&#x2F;hCaptcha as well.<p>What do people use these days as an open source (self hosted) alternative to recaptcha&#x2F;hCaptcha that is accessible for people with disabilities?

The actual title of this two year old blog is &quot;Moving from reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha&quot;

People make good points about hCaptcha being as bad as ReCAPTCHA. Are there any alternatives to captchas? Because captchas seem to be discrimating against people outside of the western world, discriminate against people with disabilities, have lots of privacy concerns, are being used to train google AIs, etc.

&gt;and hopefully eventually eliminate altogether the number of CAPTCHAs we issue<p>This suggests that Cloudflare wants to eventually transition to banning &quot;people&quot; with no way to actually access the site in case of a false positive. I don&#x27;t see the elimination of CAPTCHAs as being a good thing.
