@nixCraft@mastodon.social In my experience it's not enough to merely #block said #AIscrapers, but literally necessary to fight back by sending them *malicious data* with EVERY REQUEST* whilst rate limiting to a crawl to combat their literal DDoS-Attacks! (max. 1 connection at 75 bit/s per IP & request max. 1 request per IP, 120s crawl-delay enforced, redirecting them to EICAR "Malware" every time they violate said limits, commit Blackholing at Upstream / IX-Level)
