ChainThink report, March 12: X platform user SnowShadow stated that Tencent's AI Skills community SkillHub has scraped all Skills from the official plugin center ClawHub of OpenClaw and imported them into its own platform.


OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger responded, "I received an email from someone complaining about rate limiting affecting their scraping speed. They're replicating content without providing any support to this project whatsoever. I hope Tencent can take action to stop further escalating server costs into the five-digit range."
