That's no worse than just relying on Arhcive.org to be sole provider
Is archive.org then also creeping as a service?
This is not correct. Archive.org will take things down retroactively when asked.
So will archive.org delete them too?
which is the point of archive.org - if there were human discretion it would turn into modern day Twitter
that's not how an archive should work. but perhaps Internet Archive is not an archive and it doesn't want to be one.
You need more qualifiers for this to be true. archive.org routinely archives content that the site operators would prefer to be taken down.
and archive.org doesn't listen to archivists
Does archive.org scrape data for historic preservation even if they are not allowed to make the content available publicly?
as long as the internet archive isn't sued into oblivion by various rightsholders / right to be forgotten regs, etc
