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.
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.
