Diffbot

Knowledge-graph data broker; blocking prevents content resale

Should you block it?

Your call — blocking is a legitimate choice

Diffbot is Diffbot's training/data crawler. Blocking it opts your content out of Diffbot's model training and datasets. It does not remove you from AI answers — citations are governed by separate retrieval crawlers.

Common reasons to block: copyright or licensing policy, competitive sensitivity, paywalled content.
Common reasons to allow: maximum AI reach, research visibility, and being part of the datasets future models learn from.
