Does fb.watch block AI crawlers?
No. As of October 19, 2026, fb.watch's robots.txt allows all 17 AI crawlers we check everywhere. None of them is named in the file: they all follow its rules for every crawler (User-agent: *).
We did not request /llms.txt: robots.txt does not allow ContextFetchBot to fetch it. robots.txt does not allow ContextFetchBot to fetch the homepage, so we did not measure it.
Each crawler, by its robots.txt rules
From https://fb.watch/robots.txt (308 bytes, 1 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
