A side issue, but since we’re on the subject of global tech being generally fscked: I’m currently on holiday in Italy and just discovered the entire archive.ph

  I'm in italy and I can access archive.ph Perhaps just the ISP you're roaming with blocks the site?
  • mr_world 2y ago
    There was a law passed that allows ISPs to block sites that host copyrighted content illegally. It's not just Italy, also the Netherlands and many other countries. You can still access it with a vpn or tor. Tor browser on the phone works fine for mobile carriers that block the sites.

      You don't even need a VPN. Just replace ISP's DNS servers with, say, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 or maybe OpenDNS's. [Edit: fixed wrong fallback address.]

      Yes that seems to be the case - the blocking page is headed with "Ministero dell'Interno - Dipartimento della Pubblica Sicurezza - Direzione Centrale per la Polizia Scientifica e la Sicurezza Cibernetica - Servizio Polizia Postale e Sicurezza Cibernetica" along with official looking government logos but text underneath (in Italian and English) talks about a collaboration between govt agencies and ISPs. From mobile cell service it was not blocked. The text does however mention it's a specific measure against child pornography, not re-hosting copyright content.

  what does archive.ph have to do with that? Isn't it just a way to get around paywall?

    It is haters' secret weapon to take archive.today down: https://x.com/archiveis/status/1809081807452696711 https://x.com/archiveis/status/1809081807452696711
