Title: Reddit Will Block the Internet Archive

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/08/11/1724...

Reddit says that it has caught AI companies scraping its data from the
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, so it's going to start blocking the
Internet Archive from indexing the vast majority of Reddit. From a report:
The Wayback Machine will no longer be able to crawl post detail pages,
comments, or profiles; instead, it will only be able to index the Reddit.com
homepage, which effectively means Internet Archive will only be able to
archive insights into which news headlines and posts were most popular on a
given day. "Internet Archive provides a service to the open web, but we've
been made aware of instances where AI companies violate platform policies,
including ours, and scrape data from the Wayback Machine," spokesperson Tim
Rathschmidt tells The Verge.
