    Playing devil’s advocate here. Mouse movements and key presses have been commonly used as bot detection method for a decade now. Like that captcha service that is just a checkbox, that’s part of how they guessed that you are not a bot.

      Yeah, no. I mean yes - that’s true, and yes it’s a way to detect bots, and no I’m not going to allow that wherever possible.
