Archive.org does not respect robots.txt IIRC. I’ve run into this problem before with them. Ironically, I ended up blocking Internet Archive’s ASN using Cloudfla

Archive.org does not respect robots.txt IIRC. I’ve run into this problem before with them. Ironically, I ended up blocking Internet Archive’s ASN using Cloudflare. EDIT: Internet Archive started ignoring robots.txt in 2017: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/internet-archive-robots-txt/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/internet-archive-rob...

They only started ignoring robots.txt on US government websites (as that article also says)

  That is not what the article says. It says Internet Archive had already started ignoring robots.txt on US government websites. Now (since 2017) they ignore it on all websites.
