It's the inevitable suicide of the data.

Language gets weird when you anthropomorphize abstract things like "data", but I thought it was clever enough. YMMV.

The suicide of the data listed in robots.txt? How? The whole point of the article is they ignore what you have written in your robots.txt, so they'll archive it regardless of what you say.
Correct, they are challenging your written wish for data-suicide.
