    Because it’s not. I can spin any number of emulators or VMs that do any amount of work with a simple script, but that’s all it does. How does it prove I’m anything but a scripted, virtual instance of a person with a device?

    There’s a reason why Telegram is flooded with bots, Signal as of now has not been.

      Sure, if you had unlimited gpus with unlimited electricity then it wouldn’t keep you from spinning up unlimited bots

      It’s a time and resource gate, not a way to prove that you’re a human.

      Also doesn’t Telegram require a phone number too?

      Bots can buy phone numbers, hell, they can solve most captchas better than humans.

      Telegram requires a phone number, so it clearly isn’t working.
