  • Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.

  • Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.

  • This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.

    What if that’s not enough, what if this reCAPTCHA mandates Windows, macOS, or the upcoming AluminumOS on desktops too, or blocks desktops out entirely other than AluminumOS devices?

      They can’t mandate, or block desktops. Too many possibilities. Too many old machines that can’t be updated.
