We have implemented a new measure across our platforms - C.IM, P.LU, R.NF, and Image.Hosting - to block AI crawlers from scraping user-generated content.

Our goal is simple: protect your privacy and respect your copyright.

Your posts, videos, and uploads belong to you - not to corporations harvesting content to train AI models.

🔒 What Have We Done?

We’ve enabled Cloudflare’s “Control AI Crawlers” protection, as documented here:

🔗 Cloudflare: Bot and AI crawler protection

This currently blocks known AI bots from major tech companies, including:

• GPTBot (OpenAI)
• ClaudeBot (Anthropic)
• GoogleOther & Google-CloudVertexBot (Google)
• Meta-ExternalAgent (Meta)
• Amazonbot (Amazon)
• Applebot (Apple)
• Bytespider & TikTokSpider (ByteDance)
• PetalBot (Huawei)
• CCBot (Common Crawl)
• DuckAssistBot (DuckDuckGo)

This list may grow over time as new bots are identified.
