The United States government should not attempt to hide the truth about its past, or even worse, rewrite history, but when it does, it’s up to the citizenry to preserve the real facts. Transparency and accountability are necessary foundations for a functioning democracy.

Oh hey @archive.org just got a shout out from Musk on the stand (when he was saying anyone can go see the founding document/posts from OpenAI)

Journalists know that losing the Wayback Machine would be a nightmare: www.wired.com/story/the-in...

“Compare any two captures of [URL] from our collection of [x] dating from [y] to [z].” This is great to know about. Now I just need to figure out what to click to do the comparison.

Blocking archives risks harming the public record. Some news organizations are restricting access to the #WaybackMachine over fears of AI scraping. Mark Graham explains why these concerns are unfounded. Get the story on Techdirt 🔗 www.techdirt.com/2026/02/17/p... @mark.bsky.social #techdirt

UPDATE: DOJ has restored the doc showing 4 FBI formal interviews with the Trump accuser, which I reported accurately was taken down. (We still don't have access to 3 of the interviews.) Link: justice.gov/epstein/file... Proof the link was down earlier today: web.archive.org/web/20260219...

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Last week a CDC webpage about vaccine safety was edited. Using the "Changes" feature of the Wayback Machine we can see a "before and after" comparison: web.archive.org/web/diff/202... The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the change control system the web never had.
