> archive.today has a documented history of altering the archived content

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks.



Archive.org has an even worse history of this, FWIW.

It allows website owners and third parties to tamper with archived content.

Look here, for example: https://web.archive.org/web/20140701040026/http://echo.msk.r...

Archive.today is by far the best option available.


What does this example show? It shows „ad blocker detected“ for me.


Archived page from 2014 gets tampered with by this javascript from 2022: https://web.archive.org/web/20220912152218/http://echobanner...

Unless you're very technical, web.archive.org is completely untrustworthy


Deflection rather than addressing the actual accusation

Pay attention to this type of behavior, folks. It's revealing


What do you want me to address? I'm just pointing out that there are no great archival services, and the only real alternative to archive.today is worse.

>Pay attention to this type of behavior, folks. It's revealing

What does it reveal?


Lmao, did you just start bickering with yourself?

Or, wow, you just revealed your second account.


Yea, reading through the page, these two accounts have been sounding exactly the same. I suppose it is in line with the childish behavior of AT.

Reported you to mods via email.


Oh great, I might have to click "New Identity" in Tor Browser.
