celmitEncrypted email provider Proton has built its own CAPTCHA service
ExtremeDullardI already have a very good privacy-respecting email provider (Runbox). But if I was on the market for one, this post instantly disqualifies Proton for me.
Captchas need to die a fiery death, and the motherfuckers who foist it on me can go fuck themselves with a wire brush, regardless of whether the captchas are from Google, hCaptcha or anybody else. I’m not paying for that garbage.
is there any way to weed out the bots? or do you not think it necessary?
My email provider, Runbox, doesn’t seem to think fucking captchas are necessary. There isn’t a single one in sight anywhere on their pages and services. How come?
Capchas are often hidden, only bothering the user when they’re not suspected to be a human. Popularity might also play a role. I’ve personally never heard of Runbox, maybe they’re not big enough to attract bots? Also possible that they’re a paid email provider?
