    Sheesh, using alternative sites instead of Facebook and Reddit isn’t using the dark web.

      if they add this requirement for the “I’m not a robot” technology this affects way more than stupid Facebook, reddit and the likes, most things behind anti DDoS use this shit.

      I find this very dystopian, and there are not many “oh I’ll just visit the sites than don’t have it” alternatives. You might as well just open IRC and be done with it, I tend to visit a bit more of the internet (even if I haven’t visited Facebook, Instagram and the likes in years)

        Ayup absolutely. Those co’s have such weight. They can drive this into essential services. Banks. Gov services. All online stores. Heck even sites that don’t need logins.

        It’s short sighted to say “I’ll just use other sites then”. The end of that road is, we get excluded from modern life.

        You’re so right, it’s dystopian.
