My 12yo daughter asks me how come some websites make you check a box that says we’re not robots.
I think of my undergrad computer science degree and my 20 year career in cybersecurity and try to decide where to begin. Scrapers, bots, intellectual property, DDoS?
Decided that “Some people just really robots and don’t want them on their site” was a more fun answer.
