The paper introduces a method to detect which web scrapers feed data to large language models (LLMs) by deploying dynamic websites that issue unique canary tokens to each scraper. By querying LLMs for information about these sites, the authors can identify when an LLM consistently outputs the unique tokens, indicating exposure to a specific scraper. Experiments on 22 production LLM systems show the technique reliably uncovers both known and undisclosed scrapers, offering a tool for third parties to monitor and control unwanted web scraping.

The paper investigates why misinformation spreads more quickly on engagement‑based platforms by dissecting the recommendation algorithm of X. It identifies an engagement fungibility mechanism that rewards instant reactions (likes, retweets) over thoughtful engagement (replies, quotes), allowing misinformation—which tends to attract instant reactions—to receive more recommendations. The authors validate this mechanism through a simulation on the USC X 2024 election corpus, showing that adjusting metric weights has little effect, while requiring thoughtful engagement before amplification can significantly reduce the credibility exposure gap without harming mainstream content or engagement.
