So now Chinese who managed to bypass the firewall cannot access western sites behind Google's new Captcha-wall?
Wow, great job, Google. ๐
(I mean unless they managed to import a Googled-phone into China too)
Not trying to be an ass here, but why the fuck would Google care about Chinese ILLEGALLY accessing the world internet. They shouldn't even be on it in the first place according to big daddy pooh. China is a utopia according the the CCP, they don't need to access the evil Internet.
I have absolutely zero data to back my thought up here. But Google probably cares about illegal Chinese access because it would piss off the Chinese government. Google would love to get into China, it's a huge market.
