The Google+’s Nym Probe – Isn’t it a Scam to Change Agreements Unilaterally and Retroactively?

After reading the Stilgherrian’s “Right, Google, you stupid cunts, this is simply not on!”,
I’ve decided to write what have been bothering me for the very long time – that is, the ubiquitous internet practice of unilateral and retroactive changing of agreements.
And ,”naturally”, without any previous notice, with the notice about possible changes without any notice in the same ToS as well as the big disclaimer part on waiving any guarantees or responsibilities
User agrees with ToS, while signing in, so it is the bi-lateral agreement. If s/he’s not likes conditions, he would not have subscribed.
But then s/he spends time, work, personal and business connections, acquires habits because he (presumable) trust to provider of an online service.

So, after a storm of angry publications by unhappy webmasters and uninstalls of KeyCAPTCHA plugings, on August 14, 2011, KeyCAPTCHA.com “announced” (by posting a few replies, for example here and there) that the free of charge option of its service was restored from August 8, 2011 (probably because the last post of KeyCAPTCHA defending its removal was from August 7, 2011, see the same links upward). Novosibirsk time (GMT +6:00) everywhere in this article.
The most funny thing was that there were no changes in ToS or any descriptions on keycaptcha.com webite whatsoever! But wait, there’s more
How to Lie without being Caught-22 (Lessons Learned from Communicating with KeyCAPTCHA.com)
Wisdom says that a liar should have a good memory. Not true on the internet, it is enough to manage to change or remove your previous publications.
I and others caught KeyCAPTCHA.com, my former employer, to publicly lie hundreds times and you will not find any such publications.
From my observations, the posts on the forums based on WCMSs (Web Content Management System) like
- vBulletin – permits changes
- phpBB - - permits changes
- SMF (SimpleMachines Forums) – permits delete
- Drupal
- Twitter (well, it is probably not WCMS and permits only to delete tweets but I hate Twitter no less for having permitted to slander and scam me by this feature)
usually let to change posts later, even after replies, whenever an author likes.
While on
- WordPress
- Joomla (after being replied?)
- IPB (aka IP.Board, InvsionPower Board) Services, how one should tag it in Social Media, I wonder?
do not (but only in a few minutes time immediately after posting) .
CSS Tutorials
What’s the point of permitting life-time changing (or deleting) what some has written, even after having dozens replies, I wonder?
One can check the forum’s CMS at the bottom of a web page and double-check it at webpage souce finding a string “generator”. Here is an example of HTML element from WordPress forum HTML-element:
- <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 3.2″ />
What about comments in blogs and posts that cannot be edited/deleted?
Shit stolen from http://trupokarudos.com/?attachment_id=3442
That’s also simple. KeyCAPTCHA Team has done it many times. It is enough post personal attacks on a participant the more and uglier the “better” until any sense is lost, then ask moderators, administrators/owner of the blog to delete the whole topic or branch for a flame and/or off-topic.
100% results of topic ensured to delete a thread, branch or a whole topic!
If the results are not immediate, just return and do it again and again.
08/19/2011 Update:
In Soviet Russia, spam activity of spam-captchas block human's access (We have detected spam activity, your actions are blocked)
Hilarious confirmation of this shit-technique employed by KeyCAPTCHA itself.
Read all thread!
“We have detected spam activity, your actions are blocked”
In Soviet Russia, spam activity of spam-captchas block human’s access
Another technique is to block writers (blog commenters) through its KeyCAPTCHA by IP-address.
This is very clever to self-advertise you, only fans of KeyCAPTCHA and advertising will be able to use internet soon.
KeyCAPTCHA Spam Platform – Rebutting KeyCAPTCHA.com’s Claims that Spamming is Legal
In my previous article
I wrote about the dispute between the owner of http://ipbskins.ru, caught unawares by KeyCAPTCHA.com anti-spam service started to serve spam (ads picture puzzles + ads link) and disappearance of previous non-ads free captcha options.
To Spam. or Not to Spam, That Is Already Not a Question. At least, for KeyCAPTCHA Team
In the followed afterwards discussion, in comments to Fisana’s blog and in ipbskins.ru forum post. KeyCAPTCHA Team re-stated that, according to changes of rules on August 2, 2011, webmasters have no free no-ads options any more. Now, there are 2 options to use (3d one to stop using) KeyCAPTCHA service ONLY:
- to buy “Personalized CAPTCHA” service (and serve whatever you want, including your own captchas without ads)
- to create advertising campaign permitting 3d-party ads to earn money. Hacking to remove ads picture (puzzles) and ads links will lbe punished by ban
- to uninstall KeyCAPTCHA plug-in and install alternative measure of anti-spam protection
So, recapitulating the “new” KeyCAPTCHA’s policies and rules:
- no opt-in to refuse (unsubsribe) from ads by addressee
In Russia, it is illegal under Part 2 of article 10 of Федеральный Закон Российской Федерации 149-ФЗ от 27 июля 2006 г. ”ОБ ИНФОРМАЦИИ, ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЯХ И О ЗАЩИТЕ ИНФОРМАЦИИ” - the ads are being provided without prior obligatory consent by addressee
In Russia, it is is illegal according to article 18.1 of Федеральный закон Российской Федерации от 13 марта 2006 г. 38-ФЗ “О рекламе” - no option of free of charge service without external/3d-party ads
This seems to be available in any other CAPTCHA service, including those promoted as ads platforms - impossible to identify of a person distributing ads:
KeyCAPTCHA Team is in Russia,
now presents itself as US-based Mersane Ltd.,
having presented itself untill the March, 2011 as Joint Stock ITNP (ЗАО ИТНП)
under the jurisdiction (see item 10.6) “of the Republic of Seychelles, without regard to conflict-of-laws provisions”
In Russia, it is illegal under Part 2 of article 10 of Федеральный Закон Российской Федерации 149-ФЗ от 27 июля 2006 г. ”ОБ ИНФОРМАЦИИ, ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЯХ И О ЗАЩИТЕ ИНФОРМАЦИИ” - No guarantees or liabilities by KeyCAPTCHA.com , see item 4 of KeyCAPTCHA’s ToS
In Russia, it is illegal under article 12 , article 38 of Федеральный закон Российской Федерации от 13 марта 2006 г. 38-ФЗ “О рекламе”
I cited the laws of Russian Federaration though there are similar statements in the laws of most countries stating that unavoidable advertising (or intrusive or inescapable or indivertible or unpreventable or encroaching or meddlesome or invasive advertising) is illegal.
Read for example: “Unavoidable Advertising – Is It Legal in the U.S.?”
I skipped EU legislation since US one is the most relaxed.
The KeyCAPTCHa.com Team argues then that:
- unwarranted advertising is omnipresent in TV, printed press, cinema, etc.
Well, this is demagoguery – I can always opt to skip watching or reading unwarranted ads and by this will not block deprive me from access other resources. - that spamming is legal as far as online service informs about it in its ToS (Terms of Service)
No comments: commit any crime, just don’t forget write your rules for this, even afterwards, as KeyCAPTCHA.com did.

KeyCAPTCHA “Genius” Demagoguery – Antispam Spamming Platform: Why to Buy a Spambot, Buy the Spam-thru-CAPTCHAs Share
"Вышел ёжик из тумана, Вынул..." - Webmasters has no right to reject the advertising served through KeyCAPTCHA
Why to buy a spambot, if one can buy the right to spam through the network of ”anti-spam” ”highly interactive” captchas?
Anti-spam CAPTCHAs as advertising platform are not new.
The new KeyCAPTCHA.com’s “innovation” is that:
- webmasters having installed anti-spam KeyCAPTCHA do not have any control of what is being served served, or spammed through such anti-antispam external KeyCAPTCHA service (including to opt for free non-ads captchas), except its uninstall
- initially it is promoted through non-ads KeyCAPTCHs with following change to obligatory spam without any notice
Let me cite (in my translation) the dialogue between KeyCAPTCHA Team and the webmaster/sysadmin of http://ipbskins.ru Fisana in her blog article:
The original article proposed a discovered hack how to continue serving KeyCAPTCHA without spam (ads puzlle + link) and stated about complaints of users and decreased rate of registrations on forum due to unwarranted ads served through KeyCAPTCHA.
The followed in comments dialogue, briefed by me + I added links:
- KeyCAPTCHA:
Hacking of our KeyCAPTCHA service will be punished by ban according to KeyCAPTCHA Terms of Service and Use Agreement - Fisana:
I was horrified to find out that KeyCAPTCHA plugin setting on keycaptcha.com website does not have an option of non-advertising captchas - KeyCAPTCHA:
According to “Publishers” section you can create advertising campaign with your own captchas - Fisana:
I do not need advertising campaigns and do not have the time to add my captchas , I just want to continue being served with non-ads pictures. - KeyCAPTCHA (my favorite one):
Our service is absolutely gratuitous, if you do not want ads, you can either buy out its abscence or use other alternative solutions (i.e. having uninstalled KeyCAPTCHA plug-in)
Besides webmasters’ earning on it, it provides 100% protection from spam-bots - Fisana:
This is you right.
But, before serving ads, you should have warned your users.
When I started to use your service, there was no advertising either in captchas being served or in your ToS!
There was a free unconstrained service + fee-based additional unasked options
I did not subscribe ads can be served to my website without my permission or even warning! - KeyCAPTCHA:
We warned by Emails only those webmasters whose webresource themes were interesting to our advertisers. No one of warned webmasters stopped using KeyCAPTCHA service but only thanked us
The rules at the moment of your registration told:
“KeyCAPTCHA may at any time revise these Terms of Service by updating this posting. By using KeyCAPTCHA, you agree to be bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to determine the then-current Terms of Service to which you are bound”
Such, or very similar item, is present in most of on-line srvices
- Fisana:
Serving the advertising requies obligatory consent by webmaster
KeyCAPTCHA’s Initial ToS (Terms of Service) did not mention any advertising at all. Adding ads and ads links is the change of service [my comment: what a naivity, see (*)]
And where is the guarantees that next changing of ToS will not bring to my website something illegal (porno, etc.)? - KeyCAPTCHA:
Our KeyCAPTCHA always had logo with links to keycaptcha.com website. It was also ads… What’s the difference? - Fisana:
Visitors do not like ads pictures/puzzles in captcha. Hadn’t they complained, I’d not have noticed it at all - KeyCAPTCHA:
Item 1.17 of our rules is:
“1.17 The User shall not evade, modify, crack or interrupt into the operating mechanisms of the Service and of the Site.
Any breach of the Agreement’s Terms results in the suspension of User’s account and access blocking to the Service and the Site.”
We reccommend WP-NOTCAPTCHA
YouTube service is inserting advertising into its video stream.
The comments were truncated by me. You can read them in full using online translator
I was dismissed under invented pretexts because I expressed on many occasions my disagreement with business model based on changing the rules, agreements, ToS which is, in my opinion, is cheating and fraud.

History of changes:
KeyCAPTCHA, I’m a Liar – Pants on Fire – Was I Good or Bad?
I am 48, Cybernetics Engineer, the last 14 years worked as IT commercial coder. Well, I always coded but before IT it was R&D – science and applied maths, AI, numerical and analytical calculations, that stuff.
I should confess that I have never blogged or tweeted before the beginning of this year2011. InDecember, 2011, I was “employed” by Joint Stock ITNP (keycaptcha.com,) “company”, I still do not know how to title it, as Software Developer in Test and Supporter. The latter was supposed to be minor duty since there was very little amount of users as well as problems.
Since I was initially quite excited by the technical and “business” perspectives. оn my own initiative and against the employer’s opinion that it was a wate of time, I created twitter account KeyCAPTCHA and started to tweet. The results were astonishing – in a week, the rate of visitors of keycaptcha.com web site increased thrice!
Later, after I was fired, my employer (KeyCAPTCHA.com) started to insist that:
- I had never been working for KeyCAPTCHA.com (in order to avoid paying me my salary),
- I stole KeyCAPTCHA twitter account toextort money which was caught devolved with the help by police
Why were such ridiculous claims that someone can distort 10,000 USD by stealing someone’s twitter account?
Look at statistics of keycaptcha.com daily visitor rates (the figure temporarily removed, I’ll send privately it on request):
- January 23, 2011 – I renamed my private(personal) twitter account into @KeyCAPTCHA (KeyCAPTCHA Team) and started to promote through KeyCAPTCHA plugins to KeyCAPTCHA service;
- 05/03/2011 – I was dismissed
- 05/06/2011 – the visiting of KeyCAPTCHA.com started to drop, since my former employer (“company” KeyCAPTCHA.com) had shot itself in its foot by contesting the ownership of KeyCAPTCHA twitter account which was thereafter suspended!
BTW, the increase stopped because I had been categorically prohibited to post anything except official news duplicating them from company’s “What’s new” section of website. I also was prohibited to blog about KeyCAPTCHA.
One of the main and the only proof of KeyCAPTCHA.com that I am a liar and crook was that I blogged (posted articles) under multiple accounts in http://scam.com :
“He has (had) a few accounts on scam.com but the owner of these accounts is the same person.
We want to thank the moderators of scam.com. They have blocked all his accounts.
Here are his banned accounts:
http://scam.com/member.php?u=182837
http://scam.com/member.php?u=182740
http://scam.com/member.php?u=182624Best regards,
KeyCAPTCHA Team”
This, posting from multiple accounts or commenting blogs under multiple nicknames, was what I was taught and instructed to do for promoting discussions on KeyCAPTCHA while I was working in KeyCAPTCHA Team .
It is what all members of KeyCAPTCHA Team regularly did before my coming to KeyCAPTCHA.com and continue doing after my leaving it.
For example, this blog article “Плагин KeyCAPTCHA” has a few comments on July 5, 2011, under multiple nicknames (KeyCAPTCHA and Bob) by the same person of KeyCAPTCHA Team presenting itself both as KeyCAPTCHA Team member (under KeyCAPTCHA nickname) and as a “passer-by” fan of KeyCAPTCHA reading all my publications (under Bob nickname). Let me remind that I was fire in May, 2011
It is now common practice when companies and state governments order and pay for marketing campaigns, so called astroturfing, use “sock puppets” (multiple false online personalities) in social media and even use the software for its automatization .
Another common practice is that most social media accounts openly advertise and promote its parallel accounts from the same person. For example, in Twitter:
- @yochum‘s bio tells:
“Follow my technology consultancy business tweets @Plexpod“ - @GyanSinghSEO’s bio:
“ Web Analyst, Internet Marketing.Follow me on: @seo_gyansingh @seoexpert2india“ - @CyberWar:
“Richard Stiennon, security industryanalyst reporting on cyber defence and author of Surviving Cyberwar . Also follow me at @stiennon - etc.
While I can understand why accounts being banned and blogs deleted by SCAM.com, I cannot agree that blogs are being deleted without any previous warning and giving the chance to comply with rules because the scam.com’s rules shown during registration do not tell anything about prohibiting multiple accounts for blogging.
Is it also common practice that webresources do not have any rules or intentionally have rules that impossible to comprehend and/or follow? promoting the situation that nobody cares to read or comply with them ?
So, is posting from multiple accounts a fraud or common de-facto practice on the internet?
Or, is it both?
Is it contagious?
Should I stop lying or perfect me in this?
What do you think?
What Is the “first” in KeyCAPTCHA and Why to Have it Externally, i.e. Out of Control?
KeyCAPTCHA is the first free service providing a powerful anti-spam website protection through a new generation interactive CAPTCHA.
to be less self-debunking and more clear.
.
ALERT: This KeyCAPTCHA Has No Brain (Starts-Stops Automatically) Use Your Own! Credit to Sins2ALL.com
The word “interactive” is really synonym to “intrusive for a visitor”, in contrast to non-intrusive anti-spam solutions like filtering, honey-traps (honey-pots), etc. Except its anti-marketing (i.e. negative) nature, it does not convey any information since in reality KeyCAPTCHA should have been more specifically described as “DRAG’N'DROP” and/or “not requiring text typing” (non-Texting?) instead of vague and generic “interactive”. All visible (presented) to a visitor CAPTCHAs are really interactive in that they require user’s interactions like typing, drag’n'drop-ping, clicking, etc.
The word “free” means in reality, for external service, like KeyCAPTCHA.com, ”un-paid by a user”.
KeyCAPTCHA.com external service internals are not free for scrutiny (or reuse) like open sourced products
All known to me anti-spam services are either free of charge or provide free of charge options/versions in parallel to fee-based service. The latter is in no way different from keycaptcha.com service having both fee-based and free of charge options of its service.
Since it is ridiculous to tout an anti-spam service as “first free” , let me guess, that it is a simple way to assure that users of KeyCAPTCHA did not read about and do not care what they have installed
The idea of non-texting captcha was researched before KeyCAPTCHA (introduced in 2010) a lot, for example:
- Google’s rotCAPTCHA project in 2009,
- Microsoft’s ASIRRA project in 2007,
- Carnegie-Mellon School of Computer Scince’s PIX project in 2000,
- ALIPR in 2006
- etc.
There are dozens open-source projects offering CAPTCHs based on idea of choosing/clicking an image, for example:
- KittenAuth
- 3D Captcha
- IMAGINATION: Image-based Authentication (based on ALIPR, 2006)
- etc
as well as DRAG’N'DROP CAPTCHAs, for example:
- AJAX FANCY CAPTCHA
- etc.
that, IMO, avoid the main point of vulnerability existing in KeyCAPTCHA – that it is external centralized proprietary service out of control of webresource owner who installs it.

Why Twitter Supports Criminals?
Many times I reported to twitter support (opened a few tickets) that a dozen of KeyCAPTCHA.com Team’s tweets from stolen from me @KeyCAPTCHA twitter account are lies and some of them are simply crimes:
The tweet “This person stole our twitter account @KeyCAPTCHA. And he started to extort money from our company” is lie
- I did not and could not ever steal my own @KeyCAPTCHA account.
See my article: “Who Stole @KeyCAPTCHA Twitter Account?”
Update:
Since the cited Tweet was deleted here is its cache
The tweet “When he started his threats we reported to the police immediately. The police helped us to get our twitter account back” is lie
- Dec. 11, 2010 - I was hired by keycaptcha.com
- Jan 21, 2011 - created @KeyCAPTCHA on under name @Coulombusser from my private GMail account. See also How I Stole KeyCAPTCHA Twitter Account
- May, 2011 – dismissed (though, since I was not paid, it is quite probable that I am still employed),
- May, 30, 2011 – reported by keycaptcha.com to police for alleged extortion
- June 3, 2011 - caught by police for extortion with proposed and paid by my former employer keycaptcha.com money
- When did I steal my Twitter account and How could I possibly extort money by stealing any Twitter account?
The Tweet of “He is under recognizance not to leave now” is crime.
- I am not and was never in my life under any recognizance oreven informed about opening criminal case against me until now (Updated on August 11, 2011). Although, By law, it should have been done in maximum 10 days
The Tweet “The police are investigating it (all his other illegal actions (extortion of money, his threats and publishing slander)) now” is crime.
- Until the end of investigation, the publishing of such “conclusions” is the crime under Russian and international laws.
The Tweet “Stop your lie. Your way can just aggravate your situation. See you in court” is intimidating threat publication of which is legally qualified as crime.
- etc.
Instead of returning stolen from me @KeyCAPTCHA twitter account or or suspending it for reported by me abuses, twitter support permanently suspended (i.e. deleted) my own (another) private account from which I reported (opened tickets) or tried to reply to such abuses and lies!
Except that I do not understand why Twitter obviously supports criminal activities, I do not understand why I am, as the author of my tweets, rejected the right at least to make copies of my content before blccking me from it without any warnings and expanations

KeyCAPTCHA Scam – How to Make Spam Unavoidable
First Free (KeyCAPTCHA Plugin Description)
It is like in any scam scheme: first, a victim is enticed by an irresistible offer of absolutely free of charge novel (“first”, “innovative”, “sexy”. “unique”, etc.) miracle or easy way to earn money (including interesting job offer like it was for me by KeyCAPTCHA.com). Then you are trapped by a sneaky change in conditions of bargain (employment)… Accordingly, first, KeyCAPTCHA.com filled the internet with ads of its first absolutely free of charge (“unique”, “novel”, “innovative”, “unbreakable”) anti-spam miracle. It was not only without any advertising but even buyers of commercial fee-based KeyCAPTCHA service were initially prohibited to create CAPTCHAs with any advertising. Then, in the beginning of August, 2011, after bloggers started to write about and webmasters with sysadmins to advise each other this miracle en masse, KeyCAPTCHA.com changed its ToS convering KeyCAPTCHA from antispam captcha into spam platform.
KeyCAPTCHA Plugin Contribution description in WordPress.org
That is, a webmaster that installed it, cannot avoid spam served through installed KeyCAPTCHA plug-in from KeyCAPTCHA.com’s servers, except “agreeing” to buy “Personalized CAPTCHA” service or uninstalling KeyCAPTCHA plugin.Well, the end-user (a visitor) of a protected web resource, cannot just close your eyes and skip it like with any other spam. KeyCAPTCHA usually blocks access to webresource, like registering for forum, commenting blog article, posting, downloading a file, resetting a forgotten password, etc.
