They are afraid the Wayback Machine is serving as a back door for AI content scrapers.

    Nobody tell NYT about being able to add another “.” Subsequent to”.com” to bypass their paywall.

    Is the Guardian actually blocking the Internet Archive? Seems to work for me

    https://web.archive.org/web/20260224104430/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/23/trump-iran-airstrikes-nuclear-deal

    Meanwhile,

    e; huh, Mediapost article did in fact start loading on the Archive a few minutes after I posted this

    Fuck Reddit. That website has been selling our data and using it to train AI… I say fuck 'em

    I’m certain they’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and AI is a convenient way to justify it, rather than admitting they don’t want humans using it to circumvent the paywall. It does solidify for me personally that the LA Times is the paper of record for the United States going forward, rather than the New York Times.

      The LA Times also blocks the Internet Archive unfortunately. I’d recommend PBS NPR ProPublica or some other nonprofit organization for your US paper of record.

      They think AI companies are using it as a “backdoor” to scrape their content. Which is patently ridiculous, but that won’t stop them.

      Well, Reddit’s got a contract for AI companies to scrape their content, so pig boy Spez is getting paid, he don’t give a fuck

    Buuuut they all say that we need to donate to save free speech! It can’t be a lie right?

    Mainly pointing at the guardian here as they are sliding down the same slope that the other two slops did.

      By “donate” you mean “buy a subscription”?

    Is this related to the owner of those multiple archive sites being outed as a Russian DDoS perpetrator?

      I’m sure it’s more to do with archive bypassing their advertising and subscription.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.
