Wayback Machine & Google Website Cache Go Offline Weeks Before 2024 Election (youtube.com)
The 2 most prominent methods to archive and search the archives for records on the internet. No new indexed content. Is Google a misbehaving public service? ‘This timing is crazy.’ First guess might be fear that if Trump is elected his people will go through this?
‘I am not buying that. ... When was the last time even after the (DDOS) attack ended, caused the website to be gone and offline for over 2 weeks. And still, it’s still not fully operational ... 3 weeks later ... and still not publishing new indexed content. Employees claim they are indexing webpages but they're not going to show them to you, not yet.' ‘Highly conspicuous.’

We don't have a way, other than the Internet Archive, to get things posted and said by politicians and others.
So one internet archive is not enough?
Remember when Democrats deleted all evidence of Trump's tweets (in which he called for nonviolence on Jan 5) and charged him with inciting violence? It was very hard to find any evidence of his actual tweets. Twitter made them unavailable (it was before Elon). I think I only found them on the IA or some other indexing thing. No news site published them. Not NYT, none I found.
