New: the Wayback Machine, the go-to digital archive, is removing evidence of malware sold to stalkers. Highlights the fragility of online archives, including information in the public interest
“The public internet forgets every single day," says @RidThttps://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nekzzq/wayback-machine-deleting-evidence-flexispy …
One of the items that the Wayback Machine removed is a FlexiSpy survey showing the majority of potential customers wanted the malware to know if their partner was cheating. So, stalking and abuse. But Wayback removed that evidence and won't say why https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nekzzq/wayback-machine-deleting-evidence-flexispy …pic.twitter.com/BNyhSTDRCa
The fragility and unreliability of some archiving services is part of the reason we made mass_archive, a tool to push a URL to multiple archivers at once. Will update it with more digital libraries if possiblehttps://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wj7mkb/mass-archive-tool-python-wayback-machine-perma-achiveis …
The takeaway here isn't that 'the Wayback Machine is bad'. It's still an incredibly important resource for journalists, researchers, etc. But, if you really want to preserve something, you have to diversify https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nekzzq/wayback-machine-deleting-evidence-flexispy …pic.twitter.com/xCUlvcXukh
And after a suggestion from @rachel_pick, we're moving away from the term 'jealous lovers'; more likely to use 'abusive partners' instead (context depending). Jealous lovers didn't really capture the severity of the abuse; partners are abusive w/ this malware even if no violence
Fortunately, diversifying archives works, in this case. A load more examples of FlexiSpy archives around using malware for abusive partnershttps://twitter.com/phonedude_mln/status/999033267146952704 …
Wait, is there evidence that the archives were deleted instead of being removed from public view (as is more common)? I would be very worried if the former was happening, but the latter is pretty common
What is the effective difference? If it's there and I can't see it, is it really there?
the difference is to posterity and to research access requests
Will they respond to research access requests on this information, and is it "posterity" if nobody's allowed to see it?

Again found myself wanting to RT but still waiting for apologies from @vice...
I hope that the fallout from this story isn’t that the Internet Archive completely ignore robots.txt when crawling and playing back web content. That may seem like a bold step forwards, but it’s not.
