- djsumdog 9y agoI wonder if archive.org/archive.is wills soon be running afoul of EU laws.
- 282883392 9y agoNo, because the only thing the EU is gunning after is how easy it is to access the information. Easy to access though simple google search? Needs to be removed. Only found through searching through archives? Not a problem.
- mulmen 9y agoWhat happens when the search engine indexes the archive?
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoWhy would there be a distinction between two different search services just because one is using a historical database?
- Buge 9y agoDo they have offices in EU? The US has very strong freedom of speech rights. EU's are weaker. So it makes sense for them to only be based in the US.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoExcellent find! Good catch.
- meatbags 9y agoI wonder if this will have the Steisand Effect.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
- Buge 9y agoI'm not sure it applies. Streisand effect is more when one person/group wants to publish something and another more powerful group wants it hidden, people want to root for the underdog. In this case they're both the same group. When the original group says they made mistakes, it sort of taints how much people value it.
