Comment (by cypherpunks):
Given how common these CAPTCHAs are, it should be quite easy to verify if
Google/ReCAPTCHA are in fact automatically blocking Tor exits, and call
them out publicly on their behavior should that be the case. Site owners
should be free to decide whether to block people coming from a Tor exit
from accessing a service or not (and the Tor projects supplies tools to
make this technically easy); this should never occur simply as a side-
effect of a third-party service that's supposed to tell humans apart from
robots/automated clients.
