The operators() of archive.today (and the other domains) are doing shadey things and the links are not working so why keep the site around as for example Internet archives waybackmachine works as alternative to it.
- chrisjj 7mo agoWhat archive.today links are not working? > Internet archives wayback machine works as alternative to it. It is appalling insecure. It lets archives be altered by page JS and deleted by the page domain owner.
- that_lurker 7mo agoCurrently as far as I know at least both archive.today and archive.is have the same ddos code on the main page.

- chrisjj 7mo agoIs that what you call "not working"?
- snigsnog 7mo agoNo it doesn't. You can just request content be removed from Archive.org and they will honor this: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-something-from-archive-org/ https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som... Nonstarter for anything that you actually want to be preserved, especially anything controversial.
- chrisjj 7mo agoNo request is needed. Just robots.txt to deliver a bulk removal.
