#Protonmail has started using #Google #reCAPTCHA: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClient/issues/242 And yes, it's also disturbing that they use #Microsoft #Github.
@resist1984 webmail has a bot problem. is that surprising?
@nergal surprises are a bad thing, but what's going on here is much worse than surprises. It's also wrong to say that bots are a "problem". Just like humans, bots can be either harmful or beneficial.
@nergal People need to stop the bot hate.
