CLOUDFLARE DEBUTS ONE-CLICK NUKE OF WEB-SCRAPING AI

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Cloudflare is now offering its web hosting customers a way to block AI bots from scraping website content and using the data without permission to train machine learning models. It is able to recognize bot activity even when operators lie about their user agent. The bot detection approach relies on digital fingerprinting. With a network that sees an average of 57 million requests per second, Cloudflare has ample data to determine which fingerprints can be trusted.
