Cloudflare Launches Tools to Block AI Scraping with One Click

The new suite allows websites to monitor and control AI bots, aiming to protect content creators and ensure fair value exchange.

Cloudflare's new tools enable all sites on its network to block AI bots with a single click, aiming to end unrestricted AI scraping.
The tools include real-time bot monitoring and the ability to identify and block specific AI crawlers, even those that try to hide their identity.
Content creators can now better understand how their content is used by AI models and negotiate content deals through an upcoming marketplace.
Cloudflare's tools offer more granular control, allowing site operators to selectively block or permit AI bots based on their functions.
The initiative aims to level the playing field for all websites, providing free access to these tools to Cloudflare's 33 million customers.
