Google's reCAPTCHA service will start asking for camera permission to scan your hand in different positions to determine if you're human.
I don’t believe this will become the next big thing for CAPTCHAs anytime soon, primarily due to security flaws, privacy concerns, and accessibility barriers.
I figure if it comes down to it, I’ll let them fingerprint my device before they fingerprint me with my hands.
Really hoping that day doesn’t come…
The device is already fingerprinted, and it certainly is not yours.
The article mentions: “Attention: This MediaPipe Solutions Preview is an early release.”
If you don’t trust Google, simply using a fake hand that looks real might be enough to fool the system. Also, set up the camera before recording so it doesn’t capture audio.
That way, you protect yourself and the people around you (if applicable).
The other way—just don’t give it access and that’s that.
As for me, I’d never give it access.
Holy fuck.
Well definitely not going to give them that.
