Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users Google has made its new reCAPTCHA system reliant on Google Play Services, blocking de-Googled Android users from verifying their humanity. The system, announced as Google Cloud Fraud Defense, requires version 25.41.30 or higher of Play Services, which custom ROMs like GrapheneOS lack. This shift forces Android users into Google’s ecosystem for basic online access while iOS users face no such requirement. The move is seen less as a security measure and more as a strategy to control user access and data flow. https://reclaimthenet.org/google-broke-recaptcha-for-de-googled-android-users
