After Cloudflare publicly accused Perplexity AI of scraping websites without permission, several voices online have come to Perplexity’s defense, TechCrunch.com reported.
Cloudflare alleged that Perplexity was using bots to collect content from sites in ways that violate transparency and ethical standards.
However, some journalists, researchers, and tech professionals argue that Perplexity is operating within reasonable bounds by relying on publicly available web content.
Critics of Cloudflare’s stance say the company is being unfair and overly harsh toward Perplexity.
In response, Perplexity stated that its system only responds to user queries and always shows clear sources, maintaining transparency.
The debate highlights a growing tension between AI companies and website owners over how online content should be accessed and used.
