Cloudflare is giving site owners a way to stay discoverable while disallowing AI training. New controls and an Accountable designation establish a shared model with Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
Yea I agree it is a double-edged sword and centralizing everything is not good, as it knocks out half or more of the public-facing sites and services if there’s disruption. But the skids and bots are out numbering legitimate people and as sad as it is to say, Cloudflare is probably the best service to safeguard yourself and they’re the least evil of all Big Tech. We’re living in dystopian times.
So instead allow Cloudflare to take over the Internet? I do not consider this an improvement.
