@alexbuzzbee Also, as a user: file bugs / issues with service providers who *do* rely on reCAPTCHA telling them that you find this practice unacceptable.
Possible reasons:
1. Privacy / surveillance.
2. Privatising results of crowdsourced intelligence.
3. Potential military / antisocial applications of technology.
4. Other (think of your own).
I regularly do this.

most of the time, the most productive way to deal with a 'rude' interaction is to assume the other person was doing what they thought was appropriate and move on.
when we, as white people, feel like a person of color is addressing racism 'rudely'? we need to deal with that perception on our own. anti-racism *is* disruptive, because racism — which benefits white people! — *is* the norm. to disrupt the normal state of affairs is good when the normal state is bad. a conflict discussed out in the open is a strict improvement on a conflict we, as white people empowered by racism, can ignore; and just because white people can ignore a situation doesn't make that situation 'peaceful' or 'civil'.
just handle the emotion you're having, and take the criticism. don't let your kneejerk feeling of 'that's rude!' stop you from *listening,* because that kneejerk rejection is there in order to keep you from listening, to keep you invested in the racist norms.
a bug, not a feature.
