Talk:List of companies that block Internet Archive
Add topicmoved
[edit source]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
[edit source]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]
- 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)
More complete(-ish) list
[edit source]I was looking up Bambu Lab's exclusion of web archiving on Bing and one of the results returned was for a wiki page on archiveteam.org: List of websites excluded from the Wayback Machine.
It is not a dynamic page — sites are added (or removed) when the error is encountered by a registered user, which is why Life360 is not on their list. — Sojourna (talk) 22:59, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
