There is actually already an ongoing collaboration between Wikipedia and Internet Archive to snapshot almost every single web page to Wayback Machine as soon as they are referenced on any Wikipedia site:
https://blog.archive.org/2018/10/01/more-than-9-million-broken-links-on-wikipedia-are-now-rescued/ https://blog.archive.org/2018/10/01/more-than-9-million-brok...
The pages are being archived at a rate of 20 million URLs/week.
PS. This is not free. Internet Archive is one of those great online institutions that needs a steady stream of donations to buy the hardware that keeps the project going.
- vonmoltke 8y agoWhat's going to happen when someone like this professor decides to swing the GDPR hammer at Internet Archive to get the rotted page purged first?
- baroffoos 8y agoI think thats why archive.is exists. They do not act on deletion requests iirc.
- kobieyc 8y agoGDPR applies to EU-citizens, so I think if the Internet Archive contains material referencing an EU citizen they would need to comply.
- Googler1234 8y agoHow does the EU can enforce anything over an organization that does not have a legal presence in the EU? At best they can force their ISPs to block the website in their countries, but I can't see how much more they can do.
