I do not, ActivityPub uses HTTP signatures to make sure messages and requests from other servers are legit,
Essentially, it adds a “signature” header which contains a link to a users public key, a list of headers in the message and a signed hash of all the headers and the request.
A delicated bot to scrape ActivityPub posts is possible, but generic bots shouldn’t work. If a delicated bot is made, people can block its keys or server anyway.
I doubt they’re crawling stuff over AP, you usually need a HTTP signature for that, and no bot is going to bother with those.
Most crawling would just be spamming the web interface.
