> much better than their completely false “checking the security of your connection” message

The exact wording (which I can easily find, because a good chunk of the internet gives it to me, because I’m on Indian broadband):

> example.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

It bothers me how this bald-faced lie of a wording has persisted.

(The “Verify you are human by completing the action below.” / “Verify you are human” checkbox is also pretty false, as ticking the box in no way verifies you are human, but that feels slightly less disingenuous.)
