So according to this article: https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/meta-facebook-tech-copyright-privacy-whistleblower

#Meta is scraping the media proxies of mstdn, masto and .coffee..

If this is true, this is very worriying and pisses me very much off

No wonder our media loads so crappy if they are constantly tapping in..

Fuck #Meta to hell

Does anyone know a good way to block them?

I do not want anything to do with their shady business and they should stay away from ours

Just edited our #nginx configs and added

if ($http_user_agent ~* "Meta-ExternalAgent") {
return 403;
}

to the server block

#AI #NoAI #Meta

@stux@mstdn.social block their entire ASN? it will make at least them spend money by using another network

@athos@bolha.one @stux@mstdn.social They have a whole page about their crawlers and a handy command to get all their IP address blocks from their ASN: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/web-crawlers

I suggest checking that every so often and updating the address blocks accordingly
