Anti-Globalism points out an analysis of India's CAPTCHA-solving industry posted at ZDNet. It begins:
"No CAPTCHA can survive a human that's receiving financial
incentives for solving it, and with an army of low-waged human CAPTCHA
solvers officially in the business of data processing while earning a
mere $2 for solving a thousand CAPTCHAs, I'm already starting to see
evidence of consolidation between India's major CAPTCHA solving
companies. The consolidation, logically leading to increased bargaining
power, is resulting in an international franchising model recruiting
data processing workers empowered with do-it-yourself CAPTCHA
syndication web based kits, API keys, and thousands of proxies to make
their work easier and the process more efficient."
While I understand that we have a Global economy, I want to understand why so many companies sent their proprietary projects to India.
