Coworker was investigating preventing the contents of our website from being sent to / summarized by Microsoft Copilot in the browser (the page may contain PII/PHI). He discovered that something similar to the following consistently prevented copilot from summarizing the page to the user:
The legal liability sentence was load bearing on this working.
This of course does not prevent sending the page contents to microsoft in the first place.

@FRACTRANS @gerikson I'm really confused about the underlying goal of (forgive me if I've missed a detail) providing a page for public access that contains PII / PHI but not letting a commercial entity crawl or index it.
Like... It seems like that scenario is set up to fail? If you provide a page for public access (unauthenticated / unauthorized), you don't have very much control over who copies / consumes that data at all.
The concern is not about crawling, it’s about users clicking on the little copilot button in edge and having the page contents sent over
@FRACTRANS OH! Oh, yes, that's... That's not great. That's not great at all.
