I think we need to make it crystal clear that we're not against the use of CAPTCHA and we understand the benefits and need for this kind of security. At the same time, we must also make it quite clear that there are accessible alternatives that must be implemented alongside visual verification! We must figure out a way to make this clear and to stop the complete lock out of the blind from participation that is caused when CAPTCHA is implemented without accessibility!
