Topics covered
Welcome to our platform, where we prioritize the integrity and security of our content. Recently, we have noted user behavior that appears to be automated. This article aims to clarify its implications and how it may affect your access to our services.
At News Group Newspapers Limited, we uphold strict policies to protect our content from unauthorized access. Our terms and conditions explicitly prohibit any form of automated interaction, including data mining, text collection, or other automated processes that gather information from our website.
Understanding automated access policies
To ensure a fair experience for all users, we maintain a clear stance against automated behavior. Our system is designed to detect patterns that may indicate automated access, which can sometimes lead to misinterpretations of genuine user activity.
What constitutes automated behavior?
Automated behavior refers to actions performed by software or scripts rather than by a human user. This includes activities such as web scraping, where programs collect data from websites without explicit permission. Such practices can disrupt our services and violate our terms of use.
Potential for misinterpretation
It is important to note that our system may occasionally misread human interactions as automated. If you believe your access has been incorrectly restricted, we encourage you to reach out to our customer support team for assistance. We are here to help resolve any issues you may encounter.
