ALT “I think it's important to say that in our conversations with news publishers, a lot of them were taking this action preemptively out of a fear of proxy scraping rather than direct evidence that it has happened to them already. None of the publishers were able to point to a particular AI company or other kinds of direct evidence that their content had already been scraped by the Wayback Machine.” “News sites are blocking access to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine”  Marketplace Tech, April 21, 2026 Andrew Deck Nieman Lab
