- dewey 7y agoYou only have to update the robots.txt of a website to purge the history on the way back machine. They apply it to the history too, which is sometimes a bit sad.
- paggle 7y agoThat’s interesting in the case of a domain transfer. If I sell a domain I am de facto selling the rights to its history.
- Gibbon1 7y agoProbably. I wonder if Bang Bros used the threat of copyright enforcement to get what they wanted.
- dTal 7y agoAfaik, they don't actually "purge" the history, merely hide it. If the robots.txt is updated again at any point, all the history pops back. Hiding information requires active maintenance, which is a very clever way of making as much as possible available while avoiding liability.
