which shows the hypocrisy that is characteristic of them.

I wonder why archive.org gets so many errors (a similar problem, for an overseas user, that many US news sites cause, is that the European regulations about storing personal data means that the cookies etc. used to serve advertising are too onerous for many companies - so, rather than follow them (as the major sites like CNN do), they just say "we don't display our web pages in Europe". That is the news site's decision, though, rather than the US government. And archive.org is a way round that, usually.)
