Spain Blocks Archive.today Over Copyright Infringement

The Intellectual Property Commission operates under the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Recently, it issued a directive mandating local network operators to block Archive.today. Currently, several internet service providers have complied with this mandate. They redirect the website to an official warning page that alerts visitors they are attempting to access an illicit platform. Multiple Domains Blocked Over Copyright Concerns Much like the Internet Archive, Archive.today preserves digital snapshots of web pages.

You can’t research what you’re not allowed to access.

Internet censorship doesn’t just control information—it can distort scholarship itself.

I love the goal of making Californa and Cascadia internetcensorship free - and Washington state did our part by killing three age verification bills earlier this year - but California is very close to enacting its own social media ban for 16-and-unders.
