<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noindex,nofollow”>

to everything I guess.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You’re assuming Google will respect the nofollow,noindex instruction? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s definitely a concern. I guess it’s a way to signal unequivocally that you don’t want the page indexed. If they do it anyway, they don’t really have an excuse to fall back on–they just blatantly violated your web site’s policy.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci There are two problems I can see:

_ Google can basically do whatever they want

• You as a website owner have no legal recourse

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s true. I think the key point is to make it 100% clear what your intentions are, so that if there ever is a legal case against Google, they cannot credibly pretend not to have known.
