+# Frequently asked questions
+
+## How do we know AI companies/bots respect `robots.txt`?
+
+The short answer is that we don't. `robots.txt` is a well-established standard but compliance is voluntary. There is no enforcement mechanism.
+
+## Can we block crawlers based on user agent strings?
+
+Yes, provided the crawlers identify themselves and your application/hosting supports doing so.
+
+## Why should we block these crawlers?
+
+They're extractive, confer no benefit to the creators of data they're ingesting and also have wide-ranging negative externalities.
