No one is looking at most of these old sites. The email addresses are defunct or the authors are dead. Google is deciding to remove huge amounts of web history, again.
- jhrmnn 6y agoTurning off a server on its own isn’t removing web history. Even google cannot be forced to host websites for free indefinitely.
- LunaSea 6y agoI thought that this was what AMP was about. Huh, must have been about something else.
- sp332 6y agoGoogle is still offering to host the sites though. They are just deciding to delete a bunch of them. And while they have a legal right to remove the sites, we can still hold them accountable for how they use that power. Turning off a web server on its own isn't removing web history When Google targets sites that are least likely to have a backup anywhere else, least likely to have active admins, least likely for an admin to notice an email notification in an old inbox, I'm pretty sure that's deleting web history.
