Here it is straight from the horse's mouth:
My favourite part is where they describe themselves as a "reputable news outlet".

I remember way back when Vice used to do some interesting things. Requiescat in pace you toss-pot sell-outs.

I can't see the archival = white supremacy thing catching on.

Funny enough, the Facebook post doesn't seem to be up anymore.
Too bad that screenshots exist, huh, Vice?

Even Faux News hasn't blocked archiving on their sites.

This is now the third time I've said this and I'm sure it won't be the last: it's incredible to think Vice was co-founded by Gavin McInnes of all people.

Oddly I respect Fox News way more for doubling down on their bullshit rather than sneakily editing their content to retroactively win arguments. How fucking low do you have to go when even Fox News has more integrity than you?

Ahhahahahahaha, you dumb fucking cunts. The Internet views censorship as damage and routes around it.
Fox News actually believes-to some degree-what they're selling. VICE is in it for clicks.

So archiving information from a website = right-wing fascism. Okay.

Vice has gone downhill massively since Rupert Murdoch and Disney now own sizable portions of Vice Media.

I swear all they did was disable get requests (possibly just disable get requests from people not on the domain). I know when I was testing if you could still active their sites, it would just trip up on get requests, which is also why it fucked a load of their stuff too.

People on reddit are saying that the screenshot in the OP is fake.
I've tried searching the text and checking Vice's Facebook page and I can't find any such post, the alleged screenshot seems to originate from the the_donald subreddit.
Unless anyone has some evidence that this is real I'm calling bullshit.

I'm willing to bet it's fake news. The few sources that exist for this are either from The_Donald or blog sites that are of dubious quality.

Oh well. From the sound of things, they were attempting to block archiving even if they didn't put up that Facebook status

I see they mentioned that NPR is doing this too. Hmmm. Why would a "Non-biased news organization" need to prevent archiving?
