Wayback Machine censors many websites(like 4chan) from being 'saved'. Wayback Machine also removes previously archived videos/websites in certain cases. They are not neutral.
- Zababa 5y agoFortunately 4chan has (unofficial) archives, but some content was probably lost.
- thrashh 5y agoDon’t spread misinformation. The Wayback Machine is not censoring 4chan. 4chan is ‘censoring’ the Wayback Machine. https://www.4chan.org/robots.txt https://www.4chan.org/robots.txt Also, I let a domain of mine expire and the new domain owner (which just plastered ads) had a robots.txt that retroactively removed my “previously archived website” from the Wayback Machine.
- a1369209993 5y ago> Don't spread misinformation. No you. > The Wayback Machine is not censoring 4chan. 4chan is 'censoring' the Wayback Machine. 4chan is not the operator of the server at web.archive.org. Compliance with robots.txt restrictions is 100% the Internet Archive's fault.
- anoncake 5y ago4chan asks the WM to censor it, but the WM actually does it.
