The Internet Archive has excluded Kiwi Farms from its searches.

[ScatmansWorld]

This should be a wakeup call for everyone to not archive everything at a single point of failure, and to run your own archive if you have the means to do so.

You can't even expect archive sites to be impartial anymore. Clown World.

History must be correct.

It was only a matter of time before they resorted to iconoclasm at an opportune moment.

Day by day, Kiwi Farms appears less like a gossip forum and more like the Internet's Gumrak airfield.

Doesn't Taylor Lorenz' uncle own the site? Didn't they block access to her old tweets or something?

Does this mean archive.org will not show users kiwfarms archives anymore?
Or does it mean they still store the data, but due to present policies will not show said information?

edit: I can still archive a random KF page using archive.org, waiting for it to finish
edit2: I get random errors while trying to archive (maybe just because site is unreliable in general)

 

[lolwatagain]

I agree with your points, but:



I can still view important information on the Internet Archive. Including how Patrick S. Tomlinson is fat.

 

[Baraadmirer]

Forgive me, but I'm trying to understand how excluding the domain works. That would only prevent archived instances of this forum, not someone going out and archiving stupid shit people say elsewhere, right?

They're going for digital Carthage and they'll never be satisfied.

So to clarify and counter the misinformation (heh) that's going around:
1)Archive.org will always have KF's data there, it just won't be accessible to outside users. This is helpful for lawsuits apparently.
2)Anything that's archived that's not from a kiwifarms site will not be affected. Archiving a tweet or a page from another website is hard to police.
3)Null already said that if anything happens, and the site has to go down, he's scribbing user data and releasing the forum data as a torrent. So what's on here will ALWAYS live on the internet, doxes and all.

Thanks for the answer, but I'm still unclear on whether new pages can be archived or not after this decision?

The distinction is in whether they may change their policy later on and future archives may become accessible.

Is there anything on the internet that crazy broad isn't vaguely tied to?

They will archive it, but not show it.

The only people who are upset that their tweets can be catalogued are the people who have something to hide.

 

[Trapped Under Rice]

Spineless fucking scalawags. What's next, The Electronic Frontier Foundation puts out a hit piece on us? Oh wait, that's definitely going to happen.

Why would you be scared about your tweets being archived? I mean, there's no reason to- unless you're advocating illegal activities like stuffing children full of illegal hormones or raping women...
