Cloudflare to block Google search indexing by default on Sept 15

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Cloudflare is launching a "Content Independence Day" on September 15th, which could lead to millions of websites disappearing from Google search results. This change will block Google's crawler from indexing sites by default, unless site owners explicitly permit it. The move is a response to Google's practice of scraping website content for its AI models without explicit consent. AI

IMPACT This action could significantly impact how AI models are trained on web data and affect website discoverability.

RANK_REASON A major policy change by a significant tech company impacting a dominant search engine. [lever_c_demoted from significant: ic=1 ai=0.4]
