So lets be clear - there is no way to prevent others from crawling your website if they really want to (AI or non AI).
Sure you can put up a robots.txt or reject certain user agents (if you self host) to try and screen the most common crawlers. But as far as your hosting is concerned the crawler for AI is not too different from e.g. the crawler from google that takes piece of content to show on results. You can put a captcha or equivalent to screen non-humans, but this does not work that well and might also prevent search engines from finding your site (which i don’t know if you want?).
I don’t have a solution for the AI problem, as for the “greed” problem, I think most of us poor folks do one of the following:
Now for the AI problem, there are no good solutions, but there are funny ones:
I should point out that none of this will make you famous or raise your SEO rank in search results.
PS: can you share your site, now i’m curious about the stories
Depends on what you mean by “secure”, being very loose with the definitions, we have
My personal preference is Simplex.
Reasoning for a few:
Some more food for though though; these protocols support both group communication and 1-1 messaging - privacy expectations for these two are very different. For example I don’t care too much about confidentiality in a group chat if there are 3000 people in there. It might be more concerned with concealing my phone/name/metadata.
In general I consider large group chats “public”, I can try to be anonymous, but have no other expectations. e.g. some people use some protocols over ToR because they do not trust the service (or even the destination) but they try to protect their anonymity.
On a technical note: I don’t think there is any protocol that supports multi-device without some kind of vulnerability in the past. So I would temper my expectations if using these protocols across devices.
I’m not familiar with the other ones that were mentioned in comments or in the spreadsheet.
