Secret Service Says You Agreed to Be Tracked with Location Data

  Normally these type of news articles get recorded for posterity pretty quickly in a number of places from the IA to archive.today, etc. It is interesting that when you search for this on IA, with the link shown (https://www.404media.co/email/f459caa7-1a58-4f31-a9ba-3cb53a5046a4/ https://www.404media.co/email/f459caa7-1a58-4f31-a9ba-3cb53a...), it shows no snapshots (at all), and yet when you have them take a snapshot it always shows first that its a first archive, but then the archive never makes it to the index. I've archived a lot of news over the years, because otherwise it just vanishes silently and having a factual history is important to society as a whole. This situation seems extremely fishy because its a matter of resiliency design which IA has historically been great at, I've never seen this type of failure with IA in the past. False success (in task completion), overall silent fail (in verification of completion of said task).

    > This situation seems extremely fishy Just like with other sensitive stuff: There are 3 letter agencies who do not want you to know about this.

    IA currently shows 3 snapshots, the most current has intact images while the first two did not.

      Well its good that a snapshot was taken and is now available. Usually they show up relatively quickly but in this case it took almost a week between the save and a snapshot showing up.
