💡 Feature request: Disable web crawlers by default

Open paidlowered opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I was sent a DMCA (along with other Redlib instance owners) by WebToon and Google because of a post on Reddit that the web crawler visited through Redlib

Describe the feature you would like to be implemented

I'd like the crawler protection to be enabled by default

Describe alternatives you've considered

There aren't any alternatives other than captchas

Additional context / screenshot

I specifically just mean the robots.txt file should disallow all by default and have crawling as an option
