Huh??? You may be asking. Yup... Me too... Archiving sites are a way to keep track of what a post originally had in it for content, so that we can go back and compare it to something else.
Apparently VICE thinks that is a racist and bigotted thing to do, so they aren't going to let Archiving websites do that to their content any more...
Here are some links that used to work that no longer do, check it out how they do not load any more. When you open these up you can see it says page not found, BUT if you click on where it says ORIGINAL and copy and paste that into your browser it works!
And here is one I just tried to make sure they really disabled it > http://archive.is/4pAMG It literally cann't grab the content except for the ADs on the side.
This one I tried grabbed only the text from the post and nothing else. http://archive.is/FnIv2 Suppesdly they are still working on disabling it completely. Sometimes it may work on brand new articles, but the articles above I linked are from July 3rd and do not work at all. It may be something they add to their post later to make it non-archive-able.
How does this possibly make any sense? I am really scratching my head to figure this out. Check out their post below and read it, what does it even mean? Of course if they are wrong and we have their archived post to prove they are wrong then they should be discredited for that post. If they continue to do that they should be discredited a lot because we have the proof.
When they are able to edit anything they want we have no record of what they said, that is why I believe Steem is a great technology.
Censorship is wrong. Disabling archives or making it hard to archive content is wrong. We need to be able to fact check what people write and if they are truthful they deserve credit, untruthful deserve to be discredited!!!!!!
To help fight this you can also archive by following these steps.
- www.cachedview.com
- Paste a link of any Vice URL and then click Google Web Cache
- Copy that URL that Google Web Cache gives you and then head over to Archive.is and it should archive correctly now for the most part.
