Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Shouldn't we try it the other way around? Big show, blog, media, whatever,
 telling that Google behaves wrongfully by harassing people to solve those
 stupid captchas everywhere and give tons of personal data to Google by
 doing so?

 Furthermore this is clearly a violation of the European Data Protection
 Directive (GDPR), i.e. illegal in the EU, where Google makes much
 business. Not that this directive would protect any data, but to accuse
 Google to violate it, which they do, could help (Article 6 requires the
 prior and free permission for each single data set to collect, use and
 forward personal data. IP address, browser fingerprint, cookies, much more
 than this tracking.... all that is personal data).

 Someone with the necessary publicity to be heard should report that to the
 public.
