What are the chances of wayback machine removing snapshots? I found an article on something that is far too taboo to talk about these days that was removed from the newspaper after having it there for more than 5 years. Out of public pressure.
- dimensi0nal 2y agoIf it's important, it should go in archive.is. Sites have always been able to remove their own content from Wayback Machine.
- viiviiv 2y agoThat archive site loses pages too. I've followed links to pages others have archived years ago and they're missing. Completely gone even when searching for the URL or fragments of it.
