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.
