Private Claude conversations exposed in Google and Bing search
Shared Claude conversations and artifacts became searchable in Google and Bing after Reddit users discovered that the search «site:claude.ai/share» listed other people's links. Anthropic had blocked crawlers in robots.txt, but the sharing pages lacked noindex tags – links posted on forums and social media could therefore be crawled and indexed.
WHY IT MATTERS
This shifts the boundary of where privacy in AI services ends and the public web begins: one missing noindex tag was enough to make sensitive user conversations searchable by anyone.
