🚨 Netanyahu says social media is damaging support for Israel.

Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA system that asks users to make simple hand gestures in front of their camera instead of solving image puzzles. When used, the browser requests camera permission and records a short video of the user’s hand movements. According to Google, it does not record audio and deletes the video after the check is complete, don’t believe them. The new method aims to stop bots and AI tools that have become better at solving traditional CAPTCHAs. By verifying real hand movements, Google hopes to make it harder for automated attacks to create fake accounts or abuse websites. Google says hand-gesture verification is an optional feature and will not replace existing image and audio challenges.

Bring it on.

No les basta con controlar la cesta de la compra; ahora meten cristaleras, mesas y microondas para competir deslealmente con el pequeño hostelero y el autónomo de Sevilla. Un súper no es un bar. Destruyen el empleo de calidad de la restauración local para imponer un modelo de autoservicio deshumanizado. Frente al gigante monopolista, siempre con el negocio de toda la vida. 🍽️
