See this a lot. So you're seeing the same problem I am in my side projects -- Cloudflare, Fastly, etc must have an anti-abuse / anti-AI scraping setting and it's causing 403 errors when they detect you're not a legitimate client. They're whitelisting IP ranges of major social media servers though because it will get the link preview from Telegram, iMessage, etc.

Try it yourself with links to fastcompany.com or kickstarter.
