Assertions and Assumptions
Firstly, google is never punished. For anything.
Secondly, we know that they are simply a front for the CIA and MI6 / NATO and the deepstate.
Thirdly, the US political class has no actual, real interest in protecting your rights and protecting you FROM google
Fourthly, should Google be DDOSing you, they'd be breaking the law. But when they law doesn't care if google breaks it, then you're fucked
Fifthly, VPN means that google doesn't know specifically who you are; UNTIL a sufficient amount of related traffic reaches their servers, and then they DO know.
Sixthly, even if you use anti-fingerprinting such as DISSENTER (a fork of brave, which is a fork of chrome), and no-Script, ghostery, privacy badger, decentraleyes, and other privacy tools -- Google can DISAMBIGUATE (ie: identify) you due to related traffic
Seventhly, ONE great way to disambiguate / identify you is using CAPTCHA...it produces a bunch of boxes. Every box click is a signal to google that the VPN IP address actually belongs to YOU and they are able to bust the privacy of your setup
Eightly, it's able to do this because it gives NEW boxes, thus, it's an implicit form of 2FA (two factor authentication) --- CAPTCHA ... IS.....no-login 2FA
Discussion
Since google is using CAPTCHAs to identify VPN users' true IP address, they can actually mediate a successful attack against your specific computer and traffic by blockading you
Maybe it's not just one captcha but two. I've seen google give me search results before and THEN present a captcha after. I've seen them ask for multiple CAPTCHA challenges when connected to the very same VPN connection.
This says to me that they want a statistical match verification like 99.99999% certainty--with multiple CAPTCHA challenges--that it's you before it DDOSes your tunnel and makes it not work anymore, or throttles your connection down to 25 kbps to 'punish you' for using a VPN
I think they've gone from suppression and retardation of your experience (slowing down your use of google tools like youtube and search), to oughtright attacks on your ability to communicate.
I believe they've gotten into the black hat business of actually DDOSing you in some way in order to take down your VPN connection by making it stop working
I've seen many VPN disconnects, immediately after searching something I know google doesn't want me to search or going to a video by a 'in the doghouse' creator like a lionel nation or other demonetized influencer that isn't quite deplatformed YET...someone who has questioned 9/11 or Jan 6th narratives or vaccines....
Or even if I post certain things on patriots.win or conspiracies.win....
And I don't suspect these WINsites, but rather CLOUDFLARE of having AI baysian filter type technology that communicates back to Google in order to mediate a "PUNISHMENT" for the VPN user and knocking down their internet
The only way they are able to do this is if the constitution is suspended and the US military is allowing them to do this. Otherwise this activity would be seen not only as tortiously interfering with business (My ISP for example), but also "a conspiracy against rights" and "Deprivation of rights under color of law"...which are federal violations.
So somewhere, the US gov is allowing this to happen unabated, and has been doing this shit BEFORE TRUMP, DURING TRUMP and now AFTER TRUMP. I noted this shit started in 2013.
I'm actually beginning to think that Trump didn't protect us on purpose. He better have an ace up his sleeve or that's it and the internet is over.
CAPTCHAs are a way for them to fingerprint you hard.
Yep!
Hostility by them is to be expected. IMO the the goal for everyone should be to wean themselves off google products in the first place, and to hopefully build viable alternatives. Maybe consider changing your activities when under a VPN?
Using an alternative search engine? Also I get wanting to use youtube, but maybe their are ways around it (even if you lose perks)?
They are all butt
I tried: startpage (google), ixquick (google), yandex (russian google), metager (german google), swisscows (swiss google), bing (microsoft ddg), and DDG (rebranded lycos), and onesearch
They are pretty much all terrible
How does captcha let them identify your ip? It still goes through the VPN
I didn't understand that part either. I'm aware that browser fingerprinting is a thing (if indeed it's what's OP meant here), but if you're already using a VPN, why not just cover that base as well?
It allows google to statistically differentiate between you and other users of the same VPN IP address; but how it is able to take action based on that is anyones guess. Deep packet inspection on that particular traffic once it knows 'its you' and then it's able to spin up an ad-hoc man in the middle virtual server that effectively shunts your traffic into a round bin...discards your traffic. It's basically throwing a trashcan between your VPN and google; but even more invasively, it informs CLOUDFLARE and other CDNs that you are a nuisance and has them drop your packets
They could also send a bad packet back to your computer that messed up your network stack
Cloudflare is how they manipulate up and downvotes on THIS website also. What they do is that if there is a post they want to inhibit from gettnig upvoted, they just have people upvote and then they discard the upvote from reaching these servers. People have javascript that appears to upvote it, but if they were to refresh, they'd see that their upvote didn't actually 'register' because cloudflare discareded this
I already demonstrated that they were doing this a year ago
Only few listened, of course, because cloudflare was tortiously interfering with my ability to communicate this to the patriots.win audience...they dont' care about conspiracies.win though and people DID take note there and I got lots of favorable comments about this theory
I have some experience in the industry and it’s true that fingerprinting is possible using these technologies. The narrative here to me this seems plausible though would seem indicate quite an active interest in their part to unmask. What would motivate them to spend the money to build this?
Controlling public opinion is THE most important activity that authoritarian governments do. They've spent BILLIONS on systems that create AI profiles that are now fooling people on these types of forums, in order to create fake grassroots campaigns. They've been doing this for longer than 10 yrs, and we know they are doing this thanks to Snowden and Greenwald disclosures
https://theintercept.com/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/
And they've used sentient world simulation and total information awareness campaigns and minerva research institute and the like (DOD programs) to create fake personas that they deploy on twatter and here to gaslight people.
They've (by they I mean 'we' the people thru our taxes) have spent billions on this stuff. They do this to manufacture consent to do whatever they want
Like mask policies, vax policies, bombing Syria, going to war with China, etc.
So I buried the Lede.... part of controlling public opinion is SQUASHING the crap out of dissent.
And that, my dear Romeo, is what they are doing to us, all the time by deplaforming and censoring and the like...but first they have to ID us online...they have to ID the mole in order to whack it
Yup, that and teaching the AI overlord in image recognition.
