With websites getting shut down from ever getting a proper domain name, with left allowed to dox people without repercussion, it's only a matter of time before an accidentally posted "nigger" or "spic" on 4chan will make you lose your job.
How you ask? Google captcha.
With every single captcha filled Google gets your IP address, page you're on and a timestamp. This information is enough to determine what was posted and by who. Yes, you're the guy with a "nigger" post on /g/, and Google knows it. If that data is "accidentally" leaked, Twatter scavengers will definitely have a go at it. No one with a brain wants this.
Google captcha is only unique in how much of a botnet it is. It is replaceable otherwise.
Thus it must be changed for free as in not-botnet solutions. It's entirely achievable, even eight channel uses some alternative captcha. Here are some of them, I'm sure there are more:

https://github.com/dapphp/securimage
All boards, not just /g/, should come to an agreement on this.
>b-bbbut just use legacy captcha
Legacy captcha is an older version of the same Google recaptcha service. Google still gets the same identification information. It's unsupported and may be shut down unexpectedly, will a harder v2 captcha be a wakeup call then?
>b-bbubbut just get a pass
Pass is not a guarantee against the botnet. It only disables captcha input. New users are not protected against the captcha whatsoever, it may take time for them to decide to get a pass, until then they are put in danger.
>bb--bbbut any other captcha will make the pass worthless, hiro will never allow that
A pass doesn't just bypass the captcha, but also reduces wait times for posting and gets around country blocks. These features cannot be emulated and will still have as much worth as with an alternative captcha. Not to mention a section of users use the pass as a donation mechanism, without expecting return. An alternative captcha cannot hurt pass sales.

How are they doing that? Maybe instead we should attack their gathering abilities.

An IP address does not equal a person. Next.

The captcha embed is managed by a js script from google. Check the source code or here:
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display#auto_render
The verification information is first wired to Google, then 4chan takes it from them and either allows to post or not.

The prospect of getting harsher sentence leads many to agree with accusations. That's how torrent extortion works.
Not to mention even if you're not pulled to a court over this, an employer can still boot you if some lefty googler decides to dox 4chan as a whole.
Court legality is miniscule in how this data can be used against you. Don't be short sighted and stop defending Google.

If you don't agree with this position, you should stop going to /g/.

Get a pass, you cheap nigger

Pass is individualist. There will never be a time when everyone uses it. An alternative captcha helps the community as a whole to evade the prospect of danger. I'm after that. My security should be your security too.

some russian chan uses images related to the board (flags for int, software, tech company, OS logos for tech, anime grills for anime related boards and so on) as captcha.
It's awesome and fits the board theme, we should have that too.

The first goal should be to get rid of Google as fast as possible.
