Publishers ask Congress to force AI bots to say who they are
AI scraping bots would have to name themselves under a bill that 300 publishing executives took to Washington, as Cloudflare reset its own crawler controls.

Polite, logical bots are hardest to spot online: in a Surfshark test, people correctly identified only 40% of AI comments. Serious topics and fewer emojis made detection even harder. #AIBots #SocialMedia #Privacy
Bots With Good Manners Are Better At Fooling People On Social Media - Help Net Security

Royal Mail declare £30m/year in revenue, and claim £27m /year in costs so £3m profit. Plenty of wriggle room for AIBots to make £££s in there!

(A couple of years back Geospatial Commission (RIP) told Ministers it would cost £487m to buy rights back, a figure even more inflated than RM's costs...)

AI keeps marking my natural body as explicit content.
Technology needs to assist moderation, not replace human judgment. Removing the human element strips away common sense and accountability. Stop replacing humans with flawed machines.
