ALERT – The Wayback Machine is compromised

The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine starts adding warning labels to its archives

MIT Technology Review complained that these archives were allowing coronavirus “misinformation” to evade moderators and fact-checkers and that these archived coronavirus articles had “better performance than most mainstream media news stories.”

Now, just a few weeks later, the Wayback Machine has started to add warning labels to some of its archives, while also forcing users to log in to view some of the archived content on the site.

The warning labels are bright yellow, appear at the top of some archived pages, and tell users when a post was removed for violating a site’s content policy.

I suspect that this is the first step towards destroying archives – save everything you can because the library is burning.
