Talk:List of companies that block Internet Archive

moved

w the advent of more archival services being used perhaps more of them might end up getting blocked in which case I feel we could migrate to a general list. SinexTitan (talk) 18:29, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Companies not specifically excluded but sort of are

Adding information here that doesn't quite fit the topic on the article page, if anyone chooses to make use of it in some manner.

• Instagram — Only the front-facing website home page, and even that is only partially since at least 1 January 2026. Attempting to archive a post/reel results in a "limitations" error. [1]
  • Facebook too, unsurprisingly, since both are subsidiaries under the Meta name.

• X — Same problem as Instagram above, though for years longer (since at least its rebranding from Twitter). [2]

• Reddit — Bit of a different beast here. Most of the time, the Wayback Machine will archive the main post. However if you're wanting the comment replies included, you'll need to use the sub-domain for old Reddit.

There's many websites that hide the user content behind account walls, but those are the biggest offenders I can think of so far. — Sojourna (talk) 00:09, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
