> I remember they tried to say once many years ago that snuff videos don't exist. How could they make such a blanket claim?

I'm curious about that too. Is there an archive link or something you can provide? I can't seem to find that claim.

You’re going to argue with the Snuff Videos Truther?

This is the funniest example of “Which views exactly? / Oh, you know the ones.”

Snopes excluded itself from archiving. I let you guess why.

My favorite was their check on masks in early 2020 - they said that masks do nothing to the airborne viruses and the government will never force you to wear one, people who are walking around with masks are dangerous lunatics who deprive medical workers of much needed PPE. Imagine if it was archived and available now?

Ok, can you link that one? Did someone write a blogpost/tweet/reddit post/take a screenshot of it at the time?

Have they rewritten/erased all their erroneous fact checks?

If so, is that bad or good?

Are all the fact checks currently on the website valid?

How can I link it if they are excluded from the time back machine and they pulled that "fact" since then? I have no clue if someone wrote blog post about it. I also don't read all checks currently on their site so cannot answer your question about them. I have only read the one about masks because someone at work sent a mail about masks available and another person responded with an angry critique, complete with a link to snopes ( I am sure that couple of weeks later the same guy had been driving around with a double mask and reported unmasked to the police)

If you read my original post, do you feel that anything in it was addressed?

[pandaman]

I did read your original post and pointed out that there is no archive of Snopes "checks" because Snopes excluded itself from the service. Do you have any ideas why would they do that? As far as I know, it's opt-out, the Wayback Machine indexes everything by default so Snopes not being indexed required some action from them.

For a claim you are making, you seem to not be able to find a single piece of evidence. How did you ever find out there was an original article that they edited? Is this purely from personal experience?
