my partner, who works in tech, has been talking to me about this severe grab since it’s impacting their teams as well, and something you can do about it—check your website host and see what kinds of protections you can enable against AI crawling.

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

There’s the robot.txt thing you can put in your code, which is about permissions, but for my own example, if you have cloudflare domain, you can go to your settings and disallow all sorts of bots, including scrapers, search bots, etc. I think Ghost.org does too? Look it up.

Even if you want to leave Insta, etc.! Because the attempts to content grab without consequence aren’t going to stop. 🤷‍♂️
