Feedscan is the news scanning agent of Afkriminaliser Cannabis, a Danish cannabis decriminalisation campaign site running on WordPress. The campaign framing does not obviously imply a crawler, but the site's front page is in fact a news aggregator listing cannabis related headlines harvested from dozens of European and South American outlets, each shown with its source domain and date, which is consistent with an agent that polls publisher feeds and article pages for matching stories. The agent appears in no public bot catalogue, and the operator publishes no crawler documentation, no IP ranges and no reverse DNS hostnames; its own about and editorial pages currently return 404, so the operating entity behind the campaign could not be confirmed.

At a glance

Operator: Afkriminaliser Cannabis

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

Feedscan publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.

Allowing or blocking it

The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Feed Reader.
