#Meta is scraping the media proxies of mstdn, masto and .coffee..
If this is true, this is very worriying and pisses me very much off
No wonder our media loads so crappy if they are constantly tapping in..
Fuck #Meta to hell
@stux not just Meta, none of them respect any content any more. No point in robots.txt. Will not rate limit what so ever. They all chop and change ips and user agents to evade limiting.
Regularly kills smaller servers dead, then move on. (If your lucky) they are trashing the Web for small hosts.

@stux does that mean Fedi people can take part in the class action law suit that could do "immense harm not only to a single AI company, but to the entire fledgling AI industry and to America’s global technological competitiveness." as stated by said industry reps?
AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified
Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

Does anyone know a good way to block them?
I do not want anything to do with their shady business and they should stay away from ours
@stux yes. Block their user agent. We did: https://github.com/toot-community/platform/blob/main/manifests/applications/ingress-nginx/helm-values.yaml#L23

Just edited our #nginx configs and added
if ($http_user_agent ~* "Meta-ExternalAgent") {
return 403;
}to the server block

@stux I use Cloudflare at work and have enabled every AI-scraping bot feature available in the free plan since we all know they’re ignoring anything we put in the robot.txt file.
