Russia blocks Archive.today website
TechCrunch·
Russian authorities have reportedly blocked access to Archive.today, a popular website used for archiving web content, including that behind paywalls. The block was implemented by Roskomnadzor, the Russian government agency responsible for internet censorship. While the exact reasons for the block were not immediately clear, the action follows recent controversy where Wikipedia editors decided to remove links to Archive.today due to concerns about its code potentially engaging in denial-of-service attacks against critics. The extent and implementation details of the block remain somewhat unclear, with some users still able to access the site.
