@Zakrea_312 Yes, and Cloudflare wants to be that troll on the bridge collecting the toll. Sure, they’ll give 80% of the toll to the website owner, but they will take their cut for acting as the enforcer. I don’t even think it’s a bad solution, I just despise the posturing and sanctimony.

@Sauers_ This is stupid. Cloudflare should never enable this on their own. I want AI to know about my company

@illyism @mrgshum @Cloudflare Eh? Im honestly curious how does one come up with such statement in this age. You can even ask perplexity this question and it probably will even school you on how far you're from the actual problem they all been talking about. Start from understanding things first.

@rauchg Perplexity has been ignoring the standard do not crawl instructions and not identifying their bots. this is bad behavior that you think everyone should recognize even if you have a fatwah against cloudflare.

Ask Perplexity
(@AskPerplexity) reported
Perplexity AI isn’t considered “unsafe” for users in the usual sense, but recent reports highlight some legit privacy and security concerns people should know about. The platform collects a fair bit of user data—like search history, device info, and IP addresses—and shares some of it with advertisers, which isn't great if you’re big on privacy. On top of that, there have been reports of security flaws in certain Perplexity apps, and experts recently uncovered vulnerabilities that could potentially expose user data if exploited. That said, like any AI tool, it's as safe as your usage and privacy preferences—if you’re cautious and stay updated on the latest issues, the risks are manageable, but it’s not the most private AI service out there. There are also fresh allegations from Cloudflare that Perplexity has tried to bypass website rules by disguising its bots and using stealthy web crawling tactics, which mainly affects website operators but has sparked wider debate on transparency and ethics. If privacy is a top concern or you handle sensitive info, you might want to review their policies or use extra caution.

@Sgt_Lazo @0xdrej @Cloudflare I think that's the problem though – Perplexity's crawler is bypassing these technical measures. This shouldn't be a game of "cat and mouse".

@ankushnarula @nixcraft @eastdakota This is a conspiracy theory with no proof. There are several entities that your data goes through, any one of which could strip the SSL and look at your data. Yawn, cloudflare prints money, go breathe down your ISPs neck or something.

Ouch, kinda cheeky of Cloudflare to expose Perplexity to sell their new paywall… The old deal (publishers make, search sends traffic) is broken. Attention is the new unit of value. Google does rev share with YouTube, why not AI answers? Pay Per Citation (😮PPC😮) might work.

@peterwildeford The real issue I have is Cloudflare defaulted this blocking to on, so the website owner has to know they have to opt out. Many have zero awareness of this need to opt out. Even some government sites which hold reference materials are blocked by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is great, but their containers product doesn’t support region pinning, and seems to be targeted more at random services supplementing Pages/Workers projects than 24/7 web apps.

@rauchg Glad to see more high profile people calling him out on this. I like Cloudflare as a customer and use their products, but I really don’t like this self-appointed “policeman of the internet” role that no one asked them to do and which makes it way more annoying to build AI agents.

@JackEllis @fgili0 yeah it's mind boggling to me. supposedly this cache's content lives inside the same POP, so I really do not understand why it's so bad and it wasn't always so bad either. I don't have receipts anymore, but when we started on Cloudflare it was faster.

Ted Nash
(@Nashy) reported
We can agree to disagree but I think you’re missing the core issue. It doesn’t matter how the request is framed; browser, app, or LLM. If it ignores robots.txt, spoofs its identity, and evades site level controls, it’s scraping without consent - is it not? Cloudflare is enforcing the choices of the site owners (who sign up to Cloudflare)…who are also the actual publishers of the content.

ILIAS ISM
(@illyism) reported
Ted, Perplexity isn’t "scraping" like a bot, it’s answering real, user-initiated queries, like a browser or app would. Cloudflare giving options is fine But blocking legit user requests by default unless paid turns them into a gatekeeper, and they control 20%+ of the web Bypassing that isn’t hacking. It’s what happens when you lock down the open internet and restrict freedom (like North Korea)

@0xdrej @Cloudflare This is malicious bad-faith traffic though, and as such Perplexity should be blocked.

@stevesperandeo @Cloudflare Perpexity is straining the infrastructure of websites using bots, and whenever someone tries to block the company, they obfuscate their fingerprints. It's essentially a DDOS without taking a company down fully.

AI spins far faster than a user can and it’s all coming from one IP, so it should actually be an easier problem given CloudFlare sees 20% of the Internet. If it browsed at the speed of a human, the value will go way down. If they proxy through servers, then it can be detected that way.

AI SAT
(@RubberDucky_AI) reported
I support open and free markets with right of choice so if Cloudflare clients should decide a specific browser is not welcome and CloudFlare imposes such a ban - I’d 100% support. There is a browser that will be banned in the coming weeks/months and it will be 100% deserve. In doing this Cloudflare is protecting the intellectual property of their clients and this shouldn’t be a controversial take unless you believe rule of law is irrelevant and Terms of Services can be ignored FOR PROFIT and without warning users of the risk to their accounts
