This would effectively kill federation, no? You need go be able to view content without auth to display it on other instances.

This may be necessary, but just a consideration!

EDIT:

There are other clever ways to kill webcrawlers such as sinkholes that send recursives down a path of bogus cheap-to-serve data, for example.

Perhaps even using CAPTCHA or other auth to catch bots.

Both still have the issue of federation tho.
