Every nation including the US currently marching towards complete and total seizure of the free exchange of information. Their reasons are different but the goal is the same. Expect the proliferation of 'regional china-style' internet in a few years. Maybe sooner because of AI tools
What actual good does that do besides makes you feel better? Nothing you archive is free of manipulation in the slightest.
Also who the hell is even making a list of these "archivals"? I laughed at this place's impotent paranoid obsession with the archive links, as if any of you fuckers were ever going to come back to this article, ever, and you actually believe it will be entirely replaced or something. Archiving even makes it nearly impossible to search for anything, unless you autists literally build a database reference for every link you find in which case you're incredibly mentally ill.
And besides what are you going to do? In five years someone mentions the centralization or prohibition of encryption and you're going to dig through your links for an archive and post it and think anyone will open your wierdo link of nonsense? Archive.xx could manipulate the data too. You could have manipulated it. The data on the page could be completely made up fabrications even at the time of archival. Nobody is going to care about your archive link anyone because archive.xx is a fucking pain in the ass. "Here read this broken image of a website snap that barely functions, forces you through a captcha, and takes five minutes to load" lol lmao.
Of course archive.xx will probably be going down here pretty soon what with all the lawsuits and what good did it do? You gonna host your own schizo server of the millions of gigs of sites you obsessively downloaded? For what purpose? Who even is paying for all that data? You probably aren't.
It's such a useless effort, but it's cute you think it matters.
EDIT: lol the down votes. I forgot that that pathetic sad little impotent exercise of "rebellion" was this place's stupid 'thing'. You mentally ill worthless retards aren't gonna do shit with your "archives" but it lets you feel powerful and therefore it feels like an attack against you personally to have your gay little Cargo Cult called in to question.
Never forget you cowardly blowhards didn't do fuck all during covid but you think your little archives matter.
If the internet goes the way people fear, then one day we may all lose access to such things.
They're already targeting Archive for copyright (it's a claim that technically has merit). If the Internet goes that way:
First, your Archive links will literally all be gone.
Second, you're going to have no way to share it with anyone.
And third, as much as it sucks to hear, it doesn't make a single difference what you have and never will. I've seen gun owning conservatives lurch from tyrannical overreach to tyrannical overreach and never once did they do shit so what good does some storage of obsolete articles matter to anyone? Half the trash people here archive is retarded meme tweets which nobody needs to save.
And really at any rate, archive it for yourself.
But why punish us with these shitty links?
Archive is trash. The websites are frequently broken and barely readable. Links don't work. Media often gets lost because they're delivered through a CDN that doesn't get archived with the rest of the page.
And worst of all it obfuscates what you're sending me to. I don't want to have to click an archive link to read an "article" on a website called 911PATRIOTTRUEHEALTHNEWS.biz.
