SimpleFeed is the leading content syndication solution for WordPress Publishers. We work with over 500 publishers to syndicate their content to Apple News, MSN, SmartNews, Newsbreak, Opera News, Samsung News, Yahoo and just about anywhere your users consume content. We are working with these publishers, and publishers who use this plugin and want to participate, to license their content to leading AI companies.
SimpleFeed has a non-public plug-in which also enables publishers to be more successful in their syndication efforts. SimpleFeed customers get the complete plug in, best practices for successful syndication, and technical support.
Please note that blocking the wrong bot and/or presenting the wrong Robots.txt can lead to traffic declines. This plug in is free and offered “as is” without warranty or support.
Install now to preserve your rights to potential future compensation from the AI companies.

AI Rights Protection by SimpleFeed

Protect your rights by reviewing and blocking AI bots from using your content without compensation.

Pretty simple. Just blocks semalt.semalt.com with a 403.
If your web host uses a web server that doesn’t support .htaccess, then this plugin is for you.
If your host supports .htaccess, you should try https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-semalt, as this is the best method.

WP Block Semalt

Simply uses the HTTP_REFERER to determine if it's from 'Semalt', and blocks it with a nice 403 "Unauthorized" response.
