Cloudflare: Google Abuses Search Monopoly for 4.8x AI Data Advantage

#AI #Google #Cloudflare #BigTech #Search #AITrainingData #AICrawlers #AITraining #Content #Publishers #SearchResults #SearchEngines

Given how aggressively AI crawlers (I presume) are hitting my servers (and of course ignoring the robots.txt), I need to either install some crawler-blocking solution or switch from my denylist for IP ranges to an allowlist…

Does anyone know a software that blocks crawlers that is compatible with traefik and ideally uses very little resources?

We are excited to announce that Project Galileo will now include access to Cloudflare’s Bot Management and AI Crawl Control services. Participants in the program, which include roughly 750 journalists, independent news organizations, and other non-profits supporting news-gathering around the world, will now have the ability to protect their websites from AI crawlers—for free. 

Project Galileo is Cloudflare’s free program to help protect important civic voices online. Launched in 2014, it now includes more than 3,000 organizations in 125 countries, and it has served as the foundation for other free Cloudflare programs that help protect democratic elections, public schools, public health clinics, and other critical infrastructure.  

Although we think all Project Galileo participants will benefit from these additional free services, we believe they are essential for news organizations. 

News organizations, particularly local news, are facing significant challenges in transitioning to the AI-driven web. As people increasingly turn to AI models for information, less of their web traffic is making it to the actual website where that information originated. Industries, like news organizations, that rely on user traffic to generate revenue are increasingly at-risk. 

Allowing news organizations to monitor and control how AI crawlers are interacting with their websites, will help them better protect their content and make more informed decisions about engaging with AI companies. Ultimately, our goal is to provide the tools news organizations need to negotiate fair compensation for their work.
