Here is a much bigger blow that absolutely needs pushback, and as much of it as possible; "reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification":

https://reclaimthenet.org/google-broke-recaptcha-for-de-googled-android-users

reCAPTCHA (which has been completely defeated and useless for years) now started requiring scanning a QR code with a phone with Google Play Services with SafetyNet/Play Integrity (?) passed. While this only happens as a last resort when Google suspects you are a bot, it can happen for many reasons, and there are false positives as always (good luck sharing an IP address in a network of 1000+ computers).

Edit: The circumstances are unclear. It is possible that if a webmaster selects "high" difficulty reCAPTCHA challenge, this will always be the case.

This can be compared to showing your ID to log in/register to a site you use anonymously, perform a basic action that is behind a CAPTCHA, or even access a site to begin with if a WAF determines you are a bot.

Obviously, this completely leaves out anyone using a de-Googled Android device, outdated iOS device without Google Play Services, and any other phone that's completely out of the scope (mobile Linux, non-Android feature phones,...) or no phone at all.

The good news is that since reCAPTCHA itself has been useless for years by being trivial to solve automatically, many sites that used to use it use another CAPTCHA solution (e.g. Cloudflare... which has its own issues), but I can only imagine developers seeing some bogus numbers in a publication by Google and deciding to incorporate it based on that. I really don't want to see a reality with reCAPTCHA getting mainstream use again...

This topic become very important for everyone need to know what heppen on new Android operating system 17 and above.

I dislike something made changed stetting more tough on new Android OS. Some gamer dislike it and want to use app to install on phones, tablets, and other devices without internet required.

If Android change again in near future and everyone must report what go on latest new Android OS maybe become much worse and cause more problems. We will find out and what's go on.

I would refuse update my Android OS to 17 and above for reasons. I had Android OS 14 and 15 are rocking solid stable OS for many years without any problems.

I heard Android OS 16 did break cameras to mess up. I avoid Android OS 16 due to bugs in there. Not cool. Awful!

Must be affect to all Samsung phones and tablets?
