we archive it, because of how fast they pull down articles when we link to them if they break their narrative too bad.
I understand, but that has not been my experience with the BBC and other major big news sites, they don't usually pull articles down. Sure there are exceptions, I understand that too, but in my experience I have only seen that very seldom.
I'm not sure why he said "pull down articles". They make subtle changes to the article or headline more than straight pulling them down. Shadow edits, with no "this article has been updated" text. And no they don't usually do it. Most articles aren't that important. We're talking about protection for the exceptions. It's insurance.
not just removals, they also do edits, especially the bigger guys after we caught them doing the removing. The bigger concern these days are the stealth edits.
