Just when cloudflare were starting to be the good guys by making AI crawlers pay...
The only options when dealing with governments is comply or get out.
Humm... Who are telling this to?
If you're talking to businesses, if this were true, all the tax optimization and fraud would disappear overnight, I almost wish it were true.
And if you're talking to citizens, how about labor organization, revolts, resistance?
Either way, that looks awfully reductive
A guillotine is also an option.
I never trust that move. I'm fairly sure that they only do that so they can crawl themselves and sell the data.
Oh, of course.
But that'll help make AI more expensive to dev and lighten the load on smaller sites that are crumbling under the AI load.
I hope cloudflare's competition makes that available too to make sure cloudflare doesn't have all the data and the leverage that goes with it.
This will cause piracy and AI companies to form alliances.
