#RPCS3, open-source PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger, says on Twitter:

> PSA: #Tencent is aggressively scraping the Internet to build yet another AI slop chatbot, DDoSing many websites in the process.
>
> We've found that, as of last week, their scraping bots can now solve Cloudflare challenges and behave like real users while ignoring robots.txt. In the last 24 hours alone, our website received more than 3 million successful requests from Tencent bot IP addresses, plus another 1 million that were blocked by Cloudflare challenges.
>
> These recurring DDoS attacks from Tencent have been going on for over a year, and we have been constantly adjusting our firewall rules to filter them while trying not to impact Tencent's real users. Because that is no longer possible, we're now fully blocking Tencent IP addresses, starting with ASN 132203. We recommend other sysadmins do the same.

@serigala_tropis ahh. AI scraping is also likely on flipboard.

So I go through the trouble of avoiding ai scraping on my sites, flipboard requires full rss feeds, and suddenly you have a writing honeypot for ai scrapers.

Sneaky.

#flipboard #writing #aiscraping

May have to put my rss feeds into flipboard.

Edit: no. Full rss feeds are a requirement. It's an ai scraper honeypot.

I will consider the admin overhead.

I would rather be writing.
