You Are Human Now

Every day, humans solve captchas by clicking, selecting, and confirming that they are not robots but rather human. Captchas represent hidden and uncompensated work, as Google analyzes and checks various pieces of information, including the browser, plugins, IP address, location, among others. YAHN takes a critical look at this practice, questioning whether the cost of proving our humanity by giving the company our data is worth the privilege of continuing to surf the web as a human. LINK
