      How about at a random interval once every couple months it will ask you to draw a picture of a cat in the browser and if it finds your drawing process too similar or the image too similar to one that’s already in the database it will flag it without telling you. Three strikes and your out kinda rule. It’s like drug tests but for the internet.

      Even if you did, like, a line across the screen to save time there’s no way in hell it’d be the same as anything else in that database unless you are extremely unlucky.

        Captchas back in the day were solved by humans in bot farms. Yes they are humans but not the right ones.

        So you are suggesting captchas? I used to make a living running a bot farm and whenever my bots would be promoted with a captcha I’d have it solved by a service like 2captcha for the low cost of 0.3cents per captcha

      Speak to a customer service agent while they ask you a few timed-dated questions

      Video chat with a customer service agent.

      if it’s a real name account:

      Small credit card charge to a card in your name.

      provide a scan of a utility bill

      provide a scan of a car title

          if all forms of verification are deal breakers, we either need to get laws made to make it unlawful, or we need to boycot services that require it.

          The government is still going to do whatever it wants, and they already mishandle all your data.

        So instead of face scans or giving them my ID I have a video call with them and give them access to all my sensitive data? Am I missing something here?

              Not when you can generally make a 1 time use card, or a “virtual” card that most brands offer. Granted the only places I’ve seen this type of verification used is where you’re going to buy something anyways.
