@IceSolst @perplexity_ai Clouflare attacked Perplexity publicly first online yesterday. rofl, cloudflare should have worked with them and fixed the issue.

@amritwt i don't think they fully respect robots.txt either. The audacity to call out Cloudflare while doing the same **** is comedy gold

this whole cloudflare vs perplexity thing is basically "we can't tell the difference between a helpful assistant and a malicious bot, so we're gonna block everything and call it security theater" the distinction perplexity makes here is actually crucial - there's a massive difference between systematic crawling (hoovering up millions of pages whether anyone wants them or not) and user-driven fetching (only grabbing content when a real person asks a specific question). it's like the difference between a library buying every book ever published vs someone walking in and asking for one specific article. cloudflare's response feels like they got caught with their pants down on basic traffic analysis and decided to double down with a blog post instead of just... fixing their detection systems? when your core business is understanding web traffic and you can't distinguish between 25M legitimate user requests and 6M third-party browser automation, that's not a perplexity problem. the "stealth crawling" accusation is particularly weird when they apparently confused browserbase traffic with perplexity's actual requests. it's giving "we investigated ourselves and found we were right" energy. maybe try asking questions before publishing technical diagrams that don't match reality?

Increasingly convinced cloud providers are rent seeking with their **** (intentional!) design. AWS worse offender than GCP, but CloudFlare is sounding better for Firs backend the more I consider this

@ai_for_success @perplexity_ai It's a tricky one, has Cloudflare become too powerful? Does Perplexity have a point? Both true I think yet Cloudflare has a point too. The problem is agents don't click on ads. If it's your front door you have a right whom to let in. Very messy.

@testingcatalog @Cloudflare This is gonna become a much bigger problem as the agentic browser becomes the norm. We can’t keep blocking models from accessing websites like this.

@narendramodi @GoI_MeitY India needs its own Cloudflare like mitigation service. We have engineers more than capable especially in Gujarat and I believe we can build it in 4–5 years.

@sachinmaya1980 @Cloudflare The Cloudflare post accuses Perplexity (an AI search engine) of bypassing websites' "do not crawl" rules by frequently changing their bot's identifiers (user agents, IPs, and network info) to scrape content stealthily, despite explicit opt-outs.

(@Lokesh1jha) reported
At scale, web scraping was never subtle, with models this big, the data had to come from somewhere. Rotating IPs helps, but real efficiency is in avoiding blocks, not chasing them. 🤔What’s your take on scraping ethics or limits? #webscraping #Cloudflare

My comment was on Perplexity's whinging about CloudFlare pretending like they (Perplexity) don't know they're in an information war. As for which products are best vs. not at doing antibot - that's a whole bigger convo imo. In this case CF was enough of a problem for Perplexity to start crying and the point I was making is that if they're really "user-driven" agents then there's a technical solution to make both sides happy.

@perplexity_ai 1. Resolve this with cloudflare rather than attack them publicly 2. You’re still responsible for third parties you use. You can work with browserbase on fixing this, instead of blaming them too. 3. “more flair than cloud” lmao that was p good Overall **** pr

@theonejvo @perplexity_ai @Cloudflare Well yea as a WH company operating at big scale it‘s a huge issue ofc bcs they can‘t just resort to bypass apis on the grey market. They aren‘t user driven agents at all tho

(@mike_harrigan) reported
> there’s no mention of reaching out to the Perplexity team to work on a solution together. There’s an open standard, that’s not new, that we abide by. They’re clearly ignoring the robots.txt file. > Long story short: before publishing a blog post criticizing another company, things should be handled or at least attempted to be resolved privately. This is, of course, just my opinion and doesn’t represent anyone else’s. Should cloudflare reach out to every single site, prior to writing a post, that the site is knowingly a bad actor? Perplexity knows what they’re doing.

@steipete Me too. Also I am a heavy user of Cloudflare Workers, and I feel like they always spend like 1% of their energy building great products. Also from their CDN side, their CDN service is still great but other parts are all pretty bad. Just waste of time.

@Sgt_Lazo @0xdrej @Cloudflare Disingenuous take. robots.txt exists for a reason, they're ignoring it, changing ASNs and faking UAs. Why? Because of user convenience? What about the publishers? Should we have a login and password for every website to prevent it? Do we need to enshittify the web to prevent it?

@RatthewRants @illyism @Cloudflare We can't just block the ones that misbehave because the only functional system we had for that, they just bypassed and ignored. Perplexity doing gymnastics to avoid blocks instead of respecting robots.txt is part of the problem.

@testingcatalog @Cloudflare This dispute exposes deeper tensions: who controls AI training data & under what terms? While robots.txt violations are concerning, the real issue is lack of transparent frameworks for ethical AI data access. We need industry standards, not corporate finger-pointing. 🤝
