      This happened to me recently. Worse, there’s an error message saying I didn’t solve the CAPTCHA…but I wasn’t prompted for the CAPTCHA!

      I opened a bug report and the gov said “works for me”

      So, yeah, people breaking laws because they can’tsubmit legally required data to the gov due to reliance on faulty Google services is real.
