Expected Behavior
Due to the wide variety of use cases, there's no way to accurately predict visitation behavior. Scrapers are notorious for ignoring robots.txt rules and accessing disallowed content. This is especially true if they're dispatched to achieve a specific goal rather than for some general purpose.

Access Control
Should I Block newspaper?
Probably. Scrapers usually download publicly available internet content, which is freely accessible by default. However, you might want to block them if you don't want your content to be used for unauthorized purposes.
Using Robots.txt
You can block newspaper or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. We recommend setting up agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
