Wikipedia Blacklists Archive.today, Begins Removing 695,000 Links

The English-language edition of Wikipedia has blacklisted the archive site Archive.today after it was found to direct DDoS attacks and alter web page snapshots by inserting targeted information. In response, Wikipedia has initiated the removal of all links directing to this archive site, which amounts to more than 695,000 links across 400,000 Wikipedia pages. The decision arose out of concerns regarding the reliability and ethical conduct of Archive.today. Alternative archiving solutions like the Internet Archive are recommended for future use.
