#Reuters and #Time are #blocking all #AIbots by default and creating whitelists of approved bots to access their content. This approach aims to create friction for unauthorised scraping, incentivising companies to negotiate licensing agreements. While not foolproof, this method can slow down unauthorised scrapers and increase the cost of scraping, ultimately protecting the value of publishers’ content. https://digiday.com/media/reuters-and-time-adopt-bot-blocking-whitelists-to-rein-in-ai-crawlers/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Bot #WebTraffic has overtaken human web traffic, data shows
#Cloudflare says 57.4% of requests to a selection of websites it hosts are now #AutomatedBot requests, while 42.6% are human-generated.
By Samantha Elkins
June 4, 2026, 6:27 PM EDT"Website traffic from #AI agents and #bots has eclipsed its human-generated counterpart for the first time, according to Cloudflare, an earlier-than-expected milestone that speaks to AI’s rapid advance and impact.
" 'Welp, that happened faster than I predicted,' #MatthewPrince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, one of the largest internet hosting services, wrote Thursday on X.
“Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027,” he continued, “but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet’s history.”
"The rise is attributed to the continued proliferation of AI agents, largely autonomous programs that use tools that collaborate with high-level programs and data, with little human feedback.
"Cloudflare, which has a feature to display bot versus human-generated search requests, says 57.4% of requests are now initiated by bots, compared with 42.6% coming from humans.
"Humans might browse five websites before making a purchase, however, while an AI service might browse 5,000 websites."

Attaque crawlers IA en cours sur le serveur gayfr.online : 98% des challenges #Anubis sont rejetés (donc sont des bots), plus de 800 000 requêtes sur la semaine.
Du coup aucun impact sur les performances ni la disponibilité. Il reste juste un bot vietnamien malin qui passe sous les radars et interroge le service RSS avec plusieurs secondes ou minutes d'intervalle. Pas gênant mais je lui réglerai son compte.

AI BOT TRAFFIC SURGES, PUBLISHERS NAVIGATE TURBULENT WATERS
AI bots are visiting websites much more. This makes it hard for publishers to know who is real and affects their money. What happens next?

AI bot traffic has soared, consuming more resources and making website numbers harder to trust. This is a bigger problem than before.

I appreciate the wise minds that have jumped into my thread over the past 24 hours.
It's amazing to see the variety of tools and attitudes towards the problem. The more I talk it through and hear from other folks, the more I feel that shutting the door is ultimately a self-own. If I want humans to see my website, I need to focus on making that as simple and unfettered as possible.
I have lots of things I could be doing better for my fellow humans. The trackers from Google and FB alone are my major concern for me. There is also a trade off between being searchable at all, versus blocking the scrapers and removing the trackers.
Any tech "solution" is ultimately imperfect. I wish this was a simpler equation. It does not feel like a "nuance" situation, rather a "you get screwed either way" situation.

OMG. Je viens de découvrir le code d’erreur HTTP 418.
Alors même que je viens de prendre conscience de la quantité de bots IA qui visitent ma plateforme d’accès au fediverse, et de décider de m’attaquer au problème.
Je pense que n’ai pas le choix, je vais devoir faire en sorte de renvoyer cette erreur à tous ces bots un peu trop curieux.

Ah yes, the classic tale of heroic developers bravely fighting off AI bots with the mighty –author flag ⚔️, as if AI cares about your precious #GitHub repo 😂. Meanwhile, #open-source is apparently in its death throes, spiraling into the abyss because of spammy contributions! 😱 Surely, humanity will never recover...

🇬🇧 If you like numbers, our dashboard lets you view all our sites’ statistics in real time.
https://status.gayfr.social
https://status.gayfr.onlineI’ve added new metrics related to Anubis, which protects us against AI bots. So at the bottom, you’ll see the number of bots blocked on sight (red), the number of visits that need to verify the “I’m not a robot” page (orange), the percentage that succeed (meaning they aren’t bots, in yellow), and finally the number of accepted human visits (green).
What’s interesting is that the percentage of bots varies throughout the week but remains very high (between 65% and 96% depending on the time). That’s huge! They attack in swarms, just like a pain in the ass…
That justifies the efforts made to protect against them.

🇫🇷 Si vous aimez les chiffres, notre tableau de bord vous permet de voir toutes les statistiques de nos sites en temps réel.
https://status.gayfr.social
https://status.gayfr.onlineJ'ai rajouté les nouveaux indicateurs relatifs à Anubis qui nous protège contre les bots IA. Ainsi à la fin vous verrez le nombre de bots bloqués à vue (rouge), le nombre de visites qui doivent valider la page "vous n'êtes pas un robot" (orange), le pourcentage qui réussissent (donc ne sont pas des bots, en jaune) et enfin le nombre de visites humaines acceptées (vert).
Ce qui est intéressant c'est que le % de bots varie dans la semaine mais reste très important (entre 65% et 96% selon les moments). C'est énorme ! Ils attaquent en escadrille, comme les emmerdes...
Ça justifie les efforts faits pour s'en protéger.

Est-ce que les bots #IA sont une réalité ? Voici les chiffres du jour pour les sites GayFR.Online...
Sur une semaine, 51 700 robots bloqués immédiatement.
Sur la même semaine, 221 000 visites ont eu la page de vérification Anubis.
Sur celles-ci, seulement 4% ont passé la validation.
Sur la même semaine, 18 200 visites sont acceptées et identifiées comme humaines (ni robots ni fédération).
Ça fait quand même un paquets de bots et 96% (en moyenne sur les dernières 24 h) qui n’ont pas passé la validation. Sachant que ce chiffre varie chaque jour.
Quel gaspillage de ressources ! Quelle ampleur de tentative de vols de contenus ! Quelle empreinte environnementale ! C’est atterrant.

AI crawlers are becoming a new class of automated traffic.
They:
– Ignore robots.txt
– Continuously scrape content
– Consume bandwidth and resourcesThis isn’t just about visibility; it’s about control.
A proactive approach (like blocklists) helps reduce unwanted load and protect your data.

Sigh. The #AIbots are running amok again. I need to update my network protections on https://opencontext.org
If there was any genuine "I" in "AI", the bots would skip the slow and costly random crawl of our website. If they really wanted gobs of #archaeology data describing random broken bits of pottery and sheep/goat bones, they should be smart enough to do a simple bulk download of our #opendata.
This #aibubble can't burst fast enough.

I received an e-mail from openai that they changed my e-mail preferences for me. I was a bit surprised, but it seems that I actually did create a free account in 2022 that I never used.
I proceeded to cancel the account and got the cloudflare challenge when logging in.
I wonder if they block themselves, seeing that they operate one of the most malicious and destructive botnets around.
