More and more websites I need (including government and pseudo government websites, e.g. parking ticket payment that was outsourced) use Recaptcha. As a result, my government forces me to provide Google with free labour for basic functions, and additionally, it is possible for Google -- if they don't like me -- to declare me a robot and stop me from using those websites.

And .. what do you know? Google really doesn't like my tight uBlock Origin / Chameleon / Firefox Container / uMatrix / Privacy Badger setup, and every time I need to prove I'm not a robot (by providing free labour) I get longer and longer sequences.

Similarly, Facebook (through their WhatsApp acquisition) now decides who I get to talk to, because they have a monopoly on messaging where I live.
