Why not, is Cloudlfare controlling preservation? Is Cloudflare not exchangeable?
- verisimi 5y agoIts not controlling preservation but it is involved: “Through our partnership with Cloudflare, we are learning about, and archiving, web pages we might not have otherwise known about, and by integrating with Cloudflare’s Always Online service, archives of those pages are available to people trying to access them if they become unavailable via the live web,” said Mark Graham, Director of the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive. https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/press-releases/2020/cloudflare-partners-with-the-internet-archive-to-keep-the-web-always-online/ https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/press-releases/2020/cloudfl... But the broader point is that now they are in the door would we even hear about any new developments in the partnership?

- toomuchtodo 5y agoThe Internet Archive will continue to rely on its own infrastructure to perform crawls. You can take corporate handouts without becoming beholden to the corporation.
