The operators() of archive.today (and the other domains) are doing shadey things and the links are not working so why keep the site around as for example Internet archives waybackmachine works as alternative to it.

What archive.today links are not working?

> Internet archives wayback machine works as alternative to it.

It is appalling insecure. It lets archives be altered by page JS and deleted by the page domain owner.

Currently as far as I know at least both archive.today and archive.is have the same ddos code on the main page. For more details https://gyrovague.com/2026/02/01/archive-today-is-directing-...

Is that what you call "not working"?

[snigsnog]

No it doesn't. You can just request content be removed from Archive.org and they will honor this: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som...

Nonstarter for anything that you actually want to be preserved, especially anything controversial.

No request is needed. Just robots.txt to deliver a bulk removal.
