How to recognise it
Its requests carry a User-Agent that starts with CastWire/1.0 and links to this page. In robots.txt, its name is CastWire.
How to opt out
The bot follows your robots.txt, and stays away if it can't read it. To stop it, add:
User-agent: CastWire
Disallow: /Or write to us: contact@castwire.net
When a publisher opts out, the bot stops reading its feed, and we hide its stories already on CastWire as soon as we see it.
