This is likely a warning shot from DOJ rather than a serious threat, IMHO.
If you are not getting the images then is sounds more browser or cookie blocker related. Could be your settings are not allowing these. I use NoScript blocker and have to go and “allow” these before they show. But here again I am also allowing that direct 3rd party connection to google just to see those images and use the captcha. I would never have it on my domain.
Yes, because it is like biting the hand that feeds them...
Thats part of why antitrust applies. The search engine should be broken up from the site analytics from the mapping from the translations from the . . .
Where I live Comcast blocked the FOX NEWS show Sunday where Mark Levin interviewed Rudy Giuliani.
Makes sense...
It was preempted for a Trump rally, but aired at 10 PM where I live. If you want to see it, it is here for the time being.

Yes, that is most likely. I probably have scripts turned off knowing me and definitely java. I’m still running windows 7 too, so there’s that. It’s like you’re to go along with the privacy invasion or you will not be able to use the internet, period. The real point is I haven’t changed my settings. I can see where this could be turned into a weapon.
What I have noticed now is that on purpose they hide a bunch of other scripts behind that first few. So if you allow even just the java script to make buttons work or images show all of a sudden you get 75 other scripts dumped on you. It is dirty pool. I don’t mind the ads if they are trying to make a buck, but all the 3rd and 4th party tracking scripts and crosssite threats are a problem. I hit a page in the UK last week that had almost a hundred after I toggled on JS.
Thank you. Hope someone in the DOJ is paying attention. Enabling images is the way they track your IP address from my understanding.
Absolutely, they have a treasure trove of tricks up their sleeves. I highly recommend NoScript to everyone. It takes a mild learning curve to figure out what scripts control what. But it blocks evry script on the page and lets you selectively and individually toggle on only the very minimal needed to make the page work yet still block the other 75. Other script blockers require you to allow everything or nothing as the only two options. In these times it was worth the time invested and priceless to me now. Firefox and Chrome have it available as an addon. Or it can be downloaded here.
