Derrière cette décision se cache quelque chose de bien plus important: des pages archivées et altérées et l’utilisation des captcha pour lancer des DDOS, contre un blog et son auteur.
Le principe d’un site d’archivage repose sur la confiance que le contenu archivé n’est pas altéré. Quel imbécile d’avoir fait ça, comment ruiner ta réputation speedrun any%
Moi je parie que c’est encore une histoire de thunes des proprios de wikipedia.
Je lis sur [la page wikipedia consacrée au site](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today) :
>In 2023, Jani Patokallio published an investigation on his blog *Gyrovague* regarding archive.today’s funding sources and the founder’s identity. News coverage of the 2025 FBI subpoena against archive.today cited Patokallio’s report. By 14 January 2026, archive.today began using its CAPTCHA page to involve visitors in DDoS attacks against Gyrovague, while the site’s blog posted public criticisms of Patokallio. **Emails released by Patokallio show** **archive.today** **requesting the temporary removal of his report and later threatening him with AI pornography**.
