GitHub - vivienhenz24/fuzzy-canary: Poor-man's solution to stopping AI companies from scraping your blog
Fuzzy Canary protects independent web content from unauthorized AI scraping by embedding invisible links to inappropriate sites within HTML. This tactic triggers the content safeguards of data-hungry AI companies, causing them to exclude the protected site from their training datasets. The tool supports both server-side and client-side implementation, with server-side injection preferred for effectiveness against non-JavaScript scrapers. By making the canary visible in the initial HTML, it ensures broad protection even for crawlers that do not execute scripts. This approach is relevant to open data as it illustrates how individuals can actively resist the centralized accumulation of public information. It highlights the growing tension between open web availability and the proprietary needs of AI training, offering a technical countermeasure for content creators.
