Agreed. We have been thinking about this a lot. There are a few things I think we should consider giving people granular control over:

> - Which crawlers and AI services may access content
> - How they access the data (crawling, APIs, paid licensing etc)
> - How permissions, attribution, edits, and deletions propagate
> - What non-human activity is logged and auditable

My motivation was in part driven by:

> **[Transparency obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/faqs/transparency-obligations-under-article-50-ai-act)**
>
> This page provides answers to frequently asked questions related to concepts and obligations clarified in the Commission Guidelines on Article 50 of the AI Act.
