In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been challenged by Google when I do searches for Conservative information.

Rather than give me the results for my search, it says my post looks like bot initiated it. Then I have to identify the cells of a photo that have certain objects in them.

Seems like harassment to me.

Quit using Google as you primary search engine. They are the enemy, minimize use.

Are you using a VPN to access the internet?

If you are, then you are sharing an IP address with whomever else is using the same VPN. Suspicious behavior by other users of the VPN could be responsible for the CAPTCHA challenge you are seeing.

From time to time, I use VPNBook, a free VPN provider. I had been using one of their Canadian servers (appears to Google to be in India, LOL) without problems. Then, out of the blue, I started getting CAPTCHA challenges when doing Google searches while routed through the VPN. So, I switched to VPNBook's German server, and the problem went away. (I could have simply closed the VPN, but that would have been admitting defeat.)

I cannot get any background information (ethnicity and heritage - foreign born, etc.) on the CNN reporter who told Twitter to permanently suspend Alex Jones from Twitter. It is impossible to find his background, it has been scrubbed.
