Introducing ScrapeShield: Discover, Defend & Deter Content Scraping

What this post added

Introduced ScrapeShield, a new app that leverages existing Cloudflare features (email obfuscation, hotlink protection) and adds new capabilities to combat content scraping. ScrapeShield uses invisible tracking beacons to detect when content is scraped and republished on other sites. This data is fed back into Cloudflare's protection system to automatically block identified content scraping bots. A new feature called 'Maze' was created to route known content scrapers into a virtual labyrinth, consuming their resources. A 'no-pinning' meta tag option was also introduced to prevent image pinning.
