I certainly hope that the Wayback machine is setting up a number of independent proxies.
These “independent journalist agencies” or whatever forget that once you put something on the Internet, it’s there forever. Getting something off of the Internet is like trying to get pee out of a pool. Or, more like trying to get pee out of the ocean.
They have had, literally, decades to whine and cry about whatever copyright bullshit claims they have. And they have. They have been repeatedly adjudicated in national and international courts all over the globe, and they have repeatedly been repudiated. Now, they simply don’t want to be held accountable for the horrible things they publish, because they want to be able to take down and edit articles they publish which are no longer truthful. Far beyond their claims of copyright infringement.
And there are no legalistic frameworks to sue against archiving those sorts of publishing malfeasance.
Sadly, for them, once you put it online, it can be archived by anyone, and the Internet archive and the way back machine simply need to make very simple adjustments to their archival methods to continue what they do.
