AI Crawler Policy
NATION CONTINUITY currently permits legitimate search, AI-search, user-retrieval and research crawlers to access public content, subject to reasonable rate and security controls.
Open public content
Public articles, Country Desks, Culture Atlas entries, contributor profiles and data pages are open to standards-compliant crawlers. We do not block Googlebot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User or Bingbot from public content.
Private surfaces stay private
Administrative areas, account pages, unpublished drafts and internal partnership records are protected by authorization, not merely by robots rules. Public crawl openness never means security openness.
No Grok token invented
We do not list a Grok-specific crawler token unless xAI publishes an official one. Grok reach is supported through crawlable HTML, Google/Bing indexing, structured data, canonical URLs and an open generic robots policy.
No cloaking
We serve the same editorial content to machines and humans. We do not insert hidden AI-only text, exaggerate facts in machine metadata, or serve a special bot version of an article.
