confirm humanity

Hello.

How do you understand by the phrase "Confirm Humanity"?

I was signing up on something and this phrase popped up asking me to tick a box.
Is there a better phrase to express "Confirm that you are a human"?

Hello.

I don't know what that means.

Is there a better way to say "Confirm that you are a human"?

I don't know. (Sometimes they want to know that you are a human and not a bot.)

 

[canadalynx]

Yes.
I had never seen it before.

Strange for me though.

It doesn't work for me. The standard "Confirm you're not a robot" and "Confirm you're human" are the standard terms. I suspect the person who designed the website doesn't really understand what "humanity" means. If they didn't want to use the standard wording, they should have gone with "Confirm your humanness"!

Confirm humanity would be about showing compassion/decency, etc, not that you are a human being.

It means 'Confirm that you are not a bot'. Often you see 'I am not a robot'.

I imagine this particular phrasing is meant to be humorous.

Yes, I understand.
Unfortunately, I didn't find it humorous.

It wasn't funny.
