Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users https://reclaimthenet.org/google-broke-recaptcha-for-de-googled-android-users
Google has tied its next-generation reCAPTCHA system to Google Play Services on Android, meaning anyone running a de-Googled phone will automatically fail verification when the system decides to challenge them. Another day another Google take over the world, open web and mobile ecosystems. This battle seems to be lost already because governments are ignoring shenanigans of Google.
@nixCraft then let's get rid of Android Phones and live to linux ones. If only oss contributors moved to linux mobiles and started to provide mobile apps for linux on mobiles it would change the world... ONG and public EU administrations would move, mobile constructors to avoid loosing critical customers would provide at least some phones with linux and Google would step back in the end.

According to the article you just don't have to have the Google Play Services on iPhone. Google only demands them for Android phones.
Tbh this feels like they're just trying to do a malicious compliance thing with the #DMA. They got slapped so they're trying the next thing...

@nixCraft can you spoof it with an updated browser agent string?

@nixCraft just finished reading it XD
Yes as the article said it. This is control over android, and probably degoogle phones will find a fix but it will force them to do suspicious things. -

@nixCraft Of course governments are ignoring Google's shenanigans, Google spends a lot of money on them.

@nixCraft If it doesn't work, pressure the website owners and bring down the captcha monopol.
Edit: It probably violates accessiblity requirements as well...

@nixCraft so I guess there will be some website that I will not be visiting then.
Too bad for them.. -

@nixCraft The funniest part is that a lot of apps use Google libraries (which means most "degoogled" setups aren't actually degoogled) which can act like a copy of Play Services themselves, so those apps could be a viable option for verification if Google insists on an app, but Google's gotta have that invasive Play Services access, right?

@nixCraft So, when you see the QR on your laptop, you'll need to scan it with your phone? I guess, this should reveal who (Google account) is trying to open the site.
