Perplexity, valued at $3 billion, is under investigation for allegedly scraping content without permission, not adhering to Robots Exclusion Protocol, a standard followed by internet firms and mandatory for AWS users.
Amazon states that AWS Terms of Service prohibit illegal activities, and customers are responsible for compliance with their terms and applicable laws, indicating seriousness in ensuring adherence.
Forbes accused Perplexity of directly replicating articles, leading to intensified scrutiny; Wired's investigation found the company allegedly using unpublished IP addresses to scrape sites despite efforts to block access.
Perplexity spokesperson denies the allegations, asserting that their PerplexityBot on AWS respects robots.txt and is not violating AWS Terms of Service, contradicting Wired's findings.
