Is it open source? If no, proton can suck my stroganoff.

Edit: The official subreddit of Proton says that it is a proprietary CAPTCHA system. Great.

    Proton has opened sourced everything so far and I would expect them to do that here. They have whole pages written on why they open source everything and why that helps privacy.

    It's a proprietary CAPTCHA, the sources say.

    Does it say that both the front end and back end are proprietary, or just the back end? I'd be fine with a closed source back end

    Nothing is mentioned other than "proprietary system". Probably meaning that both ends are closed source. I don't see how I can verify whether it respects my privacy or not. I don't see a reason to implement this instead of mCAPTCHA, which is fully FOSS.
