And, ironically, in such cases the visitor is blocked twice: once by the oppressive state, and once again by the egalitarian technology company. Moreover, using Tor and other anonymity services, are common ways to access websites that are blocked by a dictatorial state.
Using Tor isn’t an indication of bot behavior and yet it is being used as a major incrimination factor.
For example, the article above discussed Google’s use of different factors to determine if a CAPTCHA solver is a human or a bot, and one of them is the of Tor. The researchers are justified in claiming that this system would most definitely discriminate against humans and not necessarily recognize bot behavior. For example, bots can be utilized to buy valuable and scarce items-such as concert tickets or the latest pair of Kanye West’s Yeezy sneakers-and then resell these items for a hugely inflated price once they have ensured they have sold out via the official channels. These include account takeover, scraping, scalping and checkout abuse. Google developed these tools as a way to combat growing bot activity which continues to wreak havoc on the Internet, particularly in ecommerce, which faces a variety of bot threats.
The latter involves users typing in a series of case-sensitive letters and numbers, whereas the Google version merely requires ticking an ‘I’m not a robot’ box in order to establish that the subject in question is human. It was designed as a more effective version of the classic CAPTCHA tool, used for the same purpose. Liel Strauch, director of cyber security research, PerimeterXĪnyone who uses the Internet to purchase goods or services will be familiar with reCAPTCHA-Google’s service which aims to differentiate between human users and automated ones.
