@mcc@mastodon.social @lcamtuf@infosec.exchange It is possible for some to opt out of Gemini training itself due to a UK CMA ruling enforceable by statutory instrument, which may have wider applicability due to how Google have been forced to implement it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fku2tzBTNnI
I do recommend not using ACME or TLS certificates issued in the CT chain if you want to evade bot discovery. I can't be 100% sure but circumstantial evidence points towards CT logs being used for scraper bot discovery. Shifting the trust root to DANE and using a different trust anchor might help this.

@bms@mastodon.bsd.cafe @mcc@mastodon.social @lcamtuf@infosec.exchange am I seeing right that anyone globally can opt out, not just UK publishers? And are other tech companies following suit? This is giving me hope that maybe I'll once again be able to have personal website projects that aren't used for AI training or automatically, poorly "summarized" by AI. really hoping!
