Turns out reCAPTCHAs aren’t actually ‘tracking the way you move your mouse’ but just trying to match you to one of the billions of statistical models held in Google datacenters that represent the device fingerprints, personalities, locations, and preferences of every Internet user they track.
And when they fail to match you… then they presume you’re not a real person.
