What do you mean by private? Should I not be allowed to block AI agents on my sites using Cloudflare?
- calmbonsai 1y agoMore precisely, Cloudflare should not be able to offer this service. AI agents should be blocked at the hosted API endpoint ("last mile"), not at a CDN or other sort of intermediary. That said, if you're using Cloudflare Workers, where the endpoint itself is hosted by Cloudflare, that would be ethical.
- kentonv 1y agoIf the CDN is implementing the explicitly-configured preferences of the specific site, what difference does it make if the blocking happens at the CDN vs. the site's origin server?
- calmbonsai 1y agoIf it's via a CDN pull, that's totally cool. IF it's with a push or acting as a pure MIM, that's not cool.
