i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
-
People without a mobile device are fucked out of being able to pass a captcha
-
As if this isn’t a way for them to associate multiple sessions on multiple specific devices with one another, this is just another avenue for data collection, period. Hidden under the guise of “more secure.”
I imagine scammers are already thinking of ways to use this for phishing too

Not if this abuse finally succeeds in driving away other peoples’ customers. Captcha losing people money makes captcha go bye bye

This? This is the JavaScript straw that broke your back?
Are you implying that Spice Hoarder is a camel?
I can neither confirm nor deny these claims
