its captcha v3, its the same thing reddit uses to catch bots and ban evaders, apparently its expensive for reddit so they only mostly use it for ban waves.
You'd THINK the article would link to a source about the fingerprinting in question instead of 90% filler slop and ads for their own service... Anyone got a link?

Great read from Tuta on thia topic. It's been an issue for a while but Google going full force publicly on it causes this issue to grow greater.
