Peertube: Captcha

Created on 26 Jun 2019  路  13Comments  路  Source: Chocobozzz/PeerTube

Hello,

Many instance maintainers are complaining of the amount of spam content, notably fake copyrighted contents, because there's no captcha system to prevent it. It's surprising that it's not implemented because this is primordial.

It would be better to have an issue open for captchas that aren't recaptcha

What good libre captchas are out there?

Waiting for this feature, you can use this tips to block registration based on countries:

On my instance, most of spam came from Indonesia or Malaysia.

Thanks for reporting this issue, but this is a duplicate of https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/1721

I agree, this is not the same issue as #1721. There are some captcha libraries that don't need third party services.

Here is a thread about this topic with a lot of different options:

I found this interesting link on your thread: https://kevv.net/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/

The thread being unavailable, I suppose this content is now available at switchingsocial's new site: https://switching.software/ethical-alternatives-to-google-recaptcha/

With the upcoming 2.1 release and its enriched plugin API, a few plugins are already done for captchas.

Improvements and new captcha plugins are welcome, for instance self-hostable ones like https://source.netsyms.com/Netsyms/Captcheck

I'm on it. I will implement this one as a plugin for Peertube 2.1.

I'm currently using the hCaptcha plugin. It is marketed as privacy friendly, but i'm not sure if it is right since the privacy policy is barely comprehensive. Furthermore, it's not listed on the swiso's list.

@stemy2 I am not sure if hCaptcha is in any way more privacy friendly than reCAPTCHA (apart from "it is not Google")
