• Abstract: CAPTCHAs are commonly used to distinguish between human and bot users on the web. However, despite having various types of CAPTCHAs, there are still concerns about their security and usability. To address these concerns, we surveyed over 250 participants from a university campus and Amazon Mechanical Turk. Our goal was to gather user perceptions regarding the security and usability of current CAPTCHA implementations. After analyzing the data using statistical and thematic methods, we found that users struggle to navigate current CAPTCHA challenges due to increasing difficulty levels. As a result, they experience frustration, which negatively impacts their user experience. Additionally, participants expressed concerns about the reliability and security of these systems. Our findings can offer valuable insights for creating more secure and user-friendly CAPTCHA technologies.

  In real-world online web systems, multiple users usually arrive sequentially into the system. We present an important online learning problem named LOCUD to learn and utilize unknown user relations from disrupted behaviors. We devise a novel online detection algorithm OCCUD based on RCLUB-WCU's inferred user relations.

  We examine the levels of support for different moderation practices applied to potentially misleading and/or potentially offensive content in web search. We find that the most supported practice is informing users about potentially misleading or offensive content, and the least supported one is the complete removal of search results. More conservative users and users with lower levels of trust in web search results are more likely to be against content moderation in web search.
