Whose claims?? All of Snopes, not just this article, is blocked from archiving.

To elaborate further on why the wayback machine has this policy, you only need to look at their website. Their C-level is entirely leftist. Of course they would start minitruing everything. From one of my older post: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/HEXE686E/x/c/16aTeduiu1

Her past Internet Archive projects include Open Library the Open Content Alliance and the Wayback Machine.

Alexis has been working with Internet content since 1996 when she discovered that being picky about words in books (as a cookbook editor) was good training for being picky about data on computers. She spent several years as Managing Editor at ClariNet (the first online news aggregator), worked as the Editorial Director at Alexa Internet, and as Product Manager at Mixercast. Alexis has an MLIS, concentrating on web technologies and interfaces, and enjoys making jewelry, dancing, and baking Cookie Smackdown-winning cookies.

This is the just the information I found out just going to their bio page. Some of the organizations mentioned that are not bolded might also be leftist orgs. There is probably much more if you comb over their personal blogs and twitters.

Archive has always been compromised. NBC was never going to allow the Archive to expose their lies.

u/TheImpossible1, do note, Alexis Rossi, Wendy Hanamura, and Joy Chesborough.

Sino (and leftist) Delenda Est

Nice work. Well, yeah, their whole website's point is to control the narrative. We all know that narrative changes at will, so can't have IA providing previous versions of it.
