if you are told not to access a system, and you access it anyway, then yes it’s illegal you dumb faggots. even if a system is without a password, accessing resources you are not allowed to, or ignoring being told to stop accessing it is illegal under current law.

yeah and meta downloaded 80TB of books and nothing happened, it's either everyone get sanctionned for not following the law or the law shall not even exist in the first place.

YOU FUCKING NIGGERS HAVE 40% OF GLOBAL TRAFFIC, AND YOU SOMEHOW AREN'T ABLE TO TELL WHETHER OR NOT A HUMAN OR A BOT IS BEHIND AN IP.
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE ALL THE HEURISTICS NECESSARY TO CATCH THEM BY BEHAVIOR?
AND WHY DO I HAVE TO SOLVE THE SPINNY BULLSHIT FOR EVERY CLOUDFLARE SITE INDIVIDUALLY? YOU ALREADY SAW THAT I CAN SOLVE IT ON PAGE A, SO WHY ON PAGE B AGAIN?

FUCKING
INCOMPETENT

i mean given the tweet they do seem to have the ability to tell

>>106140319
Just finished reading their blog post, and it was ordinary users who discovered this and complained to them about it.
They barely verified that it's true and put their IPs into their bad-bot list, that forces a captcha on them if a website behind cloudflare enabled the Managed Challenge.
So on websites where humans get the spinny bullshit, the Perplexity bots will have to solve a hcaptcha.

If you think about it, this is really pathetic for cloudflare.
They have so much market share, that there is no excuse why anyone has to see spinny bullshit. The cloudlare challenge is a capitulation.

All of those cocksuckers do it. I have a medium-traffic website and every month 50-70% of all my traffic is retarded AI companies. If you ban them from their main scrapers they just unleash tricky ones from residential addresses n shit.
Absolute scum, but then who really expects anything else from BigCorp#21123 ?

>>106139518
Seeing as how this is a Cloudflare tweet thread, I suppose they can just deny them access to the web, since it is obviously upsetting them. I am being cynical that despite the innocuous actions of Perplexity, they will be punished because someone has to be made an example, irregardless of all the other people who will not and have done the same shit for the last 30 years.

What a scummy "service"

Cloudflare is selling a pay2scrape service, so by showing off their ability to catch the evil scrapers they're shilling their product
