Cloudflare just built a toll booth for AI bots. Would YOU charge AI bots to access your site? #AInews #CloudflareUpdate #DigitalOwnership #TechTikTok #AutomationRights

Wait, did Cloudflare just put a tollbooth on the internet? Yep, they just launched a new marketplace where websites can charge AI bots like OpenAI and Google to crawl their content. Basically, if you're running a site and bots are scraping your work, you can finally say, cool, but that'll cost you. Not only that, Cloudflare now blocks AI crawlers by default unless you opt in. It's a full-on gatekeeping era, no access without consent, pay to crawl, creators get control. Is this the start of content rebellion or just the internet catching up? Either way, the bots aren't freeloading anymore. If you run a site, would you charge AI bots to crawl it? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
