Whatever the case may be, it’s getting tougher by the minute to stop anyone from using data with zero compensation or credits given.

A new blog post shed more light on the endeavor, revealing details about the company’s latest offering and how clients are providing feedback to the sudden boom of these bots scraping content for Generative AI practices of their models.
Shockingly, the company says that close to 85% of all clients are opting to block AI bots that highlight themselves from attaining access to such sites online.
The company is also highlighting which bots remain the most active since last year and how many websites they had access to for this purpose.
