There's no need for some industry-wide URL shortener consortium to archive links. Just give out your mappings if you happen to go out of business, so someone could decode your URLs manually if they really needed to.
- mbrubeck 17y agoThere are sure to be some private (unpublished) URIs in there, some of which may contain sensitive information. (Users shouldn't submit such URIs to third-party shorteners, but of course they do anyway.) Edited to add: Of course, those would also be picked up by groups like archiveteam.org that are brute-force crawling the shortener URI space.
