this must be a rickroll, right?
Scan this QR code with your moble device to verify if you have been rickrolled. reCAPTCHA protects you from rickrolling and will not give you up and share your details with rickrollers nor it will let you down and desert you.
How are people surprised by this??? This change has been constantly in the news for weeks now. How are people missing this? Its basically googles way to bypass all the backlash to age verification, because most phones are linked to peoples identity, phone number, etc.

tbh I'd rather have a 5% chance of being rickrolled for each link I click for the rest of my life than having this stupid invasive captcha everywhere
In hindsight I should have edited the QR code to redirect to that.
