Ah! The same turnstile that was supposed to provide users with a more private reCaptcha alternative and ended up fingerprinting users via WebGL to prevent spam.

Yes? It's unclear how they'd do their job without extensive fingerprinting. I don't like it either, but pretending like it's not better positioned from a privacy standpoint is odd. At very least, turnstile isn't ran by the world's largest ads company that directly profits from accurately tracking users across the web.
