Will we try to prevent google (and other) scrapers?

The headline is pretty much a summary. “Google Says It will Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI” https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2023/07/google-says-it-will-scrape-everything-you-post-online-for-ai/

The first question is obviously; do we as a community on Lemmy even want to try and stop them from scraping our content here? If no; well. ok then.

If yes; how? I’m not sure if “preventing access” to unregistered users would really prevent this. Pretty sure google has enough money and manpower to figure out a way to make it their mission to get around “can only accessed by members” content.

    Really hard to prevent this, as copying its contents to other places is more or less the point of the Fediverse.
