    Unfortunately, they’ve allegedly modified the contents of some archived articles, so even though they may do better to archive, nothing archived is of any value because it cannot be trusted.

      So are they removing all other websites that post lies or modify their articles to suit their narrative at times?

      Fox news? MSN? CNN? BBC? Reuters? AP?

      Why the sudden urge to validate the archives? How many articles have been proven to be modified?

      Seems like they’ve been wanting to remove an entity the empire doesn’t control and they’re using this as a cover to do it.

      What if somebody used archive.today to bypass a paywall and then archived that using Web Archive? (So we’re sure the content stays the same)
