MODERATORS
The only privacy-friendly CAPTCHA is a self-hosted one.
The only user-friendly kind is none at all.
Depending on the web site, an alternative bot-filtering strategy might make sense, such as:
Cloudflare's Turnstile has an invisible mode that you're probably using in a lot of places and aren't aware of it. It provides an invisible challenge to the browser and requires no interaction. I would say no input require in quite user-friendly.
Yes, the Honeypot system, an invisible part, only visible for bots, they use it and get blocked. easy.
I would argue that's not a CAPTCHA at all, since it's not a Turing test, but rather a browser inspection.
In any case, Cloudflare services like these are not remotely privacy-friendly.
