        @domubpkm, I think you might have posted in the wrong thread. This thread is about the use of ReCaptcha on the forum registration page.

        I've turned off ReCaptcha on the registration page, and we'll need to wait for the forum to reload for it to take effect. We'll see if it has any effect on the spam registrations on the forum (right now we have at least one per day).

            To conclude, as explained by @Flohack who is not European, he do with an UT phone, but he also already can't do without an Androรฎd phone anymore: I don't know if it's love for the last !

            To correct you, Florian is very much a European, Austria is an EU member. I believe he uses android for certain apps only, Car sharing being one, possibly banking. Some companies only cater to android or iOS users, sometimes it's easier to just by a cheap android phone to be able to use those services than to purposely make your own life just that bit harder.

              @UniSuperBox Yes. You're right. This thread is about ReCaptcha in priority but it also discusses the intrusion of google services. Hence my comment. You can move that elsewhere if you want

                  I'm a moderator on the Linux Mint forum. We get lot more spam than that; we deal with that by eyeballing (human moderators, well... some users have their doubt about the 'human' part ๐Ÿ˜‰) But we can handle that because we probably have a larger mod team.
                  We also get more traffic.

                  Is currently using an Op5t
                  Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                              @Keneda I believe he is referring to the removing of google captcha from the forum, you can test it now to see if it is removed.

                                @Flohack thanks for removing the captcha! I did not register again, but I tested the first page, and now I could jump to the second page, without google captcha! So I think it should work now without captcha.

                                  Thank you so much for this question!

                                  Thank you so much for removing ReCaptcha!

                                  I read here since more than 6 months but when I saw ReCaptcha I did abort the registration at the forum. ReCaptcha is really terrible and I also try to avoid Google services. I am still not happy about Akismet but willing to accept it which is the reason why I did now finish the registration.

                                  It is very exiting and awesome to see what happens at UBports to get the choice not to use Android or IOS and get back some privacy.
