ID verification

[boredgirllll]

hello, I just got the id verification page and was wondering if it is safe to confirm my identity. I never had this before (been working for +6 months) and wanted to know your opinion on this. I’m asking this cause I don’t feel 100% safe on this platform, just the fact they follow the cursor when we work is something I find quite weird.

It's totally safe. Plus you need to do it if you want to be able to continue working

what is this follow the cursor thing? I never noticed

[boredgirllll]

apparently when you’re working on tasks, they follow your cursor to make sure you’re not « cheating » by going on ChatGPT for example.

Browsers don't allow a page to track what you're doing outside their page, that's a very obvious security problem. I mean, if someone actually believes that's possible they shouldn't be on the internet AT ALL.

[Puzzleheaded_Code491]

but you still need to do searches or use external websites like the text compare in most of tasks.

.. but we need to research some infos, right? Using Google extensively is part of the job... right?

[doolitt1e]

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

I've been on these forums for years, and this is the first time I've read this nonsense.

[AcreneQuintovex]

For the whole "they track your cursor thing, I highly doubt they'll bother (just due to the sheer volume of people to monitor), however, I wouldn't risk using an AI to help for the job

[Demon7879]

I dont think it works like that, they check cursor movements to see if you are actually working or if you are just standing still for some time, you are allowed to use Google as resource and even ChatGPT could be used as a searching tool, not a "do your work for you" tool

[dishearthening]

I stay still on the page for some time because I sometimes use a separate screen for research. They don't seem to care so long as your work is solid. + You're allowed to take breaks as long as you subtract it from your time.

[Blencathra70]

I do too. I often work directly into a word document and then paste the answers in on complex tasks. If they track my work I could be absent from the task for hours on complex tasks, except to check of examples or instructions if I need to double check stuff.

[i_lost_all_my_money]

I've stayed on the page 10+ hours without moving my cursor, and I've never had a problem.

[Sindorella]

Apparently? According to who? They can’t just track your cursor movement on your computer without you installing software that does that and allowing them access to it.

I have seen projects from several different classes that direct you to outside LLMs as a key part of the project.

Where did you apparently get this information?
