Reddit will block the Internet Archive

Reddit says it has caught the artificial intelligence companies that collect their data from the internet Wayback Archive machine, so you will start preventing the Internet archive from the vast majority index of Reddit. Wayback will not be able to crawl anymore pages, comments or profiles; Instead, he will only be able to index the home page of Reddit.com, which effectively means that the Internet archive will only be able to archive the visions of news that were more popular on a specific day.

“Internet archive provides an open network service, but we have been aware of the cases where artificial intelligence companies violate the platform policies, including our policies, and data scraping from a Wayback machine,” says Tim Rathschmidt spokesman. freedom.

The mission of the Internet archive is to keep a digital archive of the Internet sites on the Internet and “other cultural artifacts”, and Wayback is a tool that you can use to consider pages when they appear on certain dates, but Reddit believes that its content should not be archived in this way. “Until they can defend their location and comply with the basic system policies (for example, with regard to user privacy, re -delete the content that has been removed), we limit some of their access to Reddit data to protect Redditors”.

The border will start “translation” today, and Redait says that she had contacted the Internet archive “introduction” to inform them of restrictions before they entered into force, “according to Rahathchimett. Redait says “raised concerns” about people’s ability to scrape the content of the Internet archive in the past.

Reddit has a modern history of cutting to scraper tools where AI companies have started using (and misuse them) collectively, but they are ready to provide these data if they pay companies. Last year, Reddit concluded a deal with Google for both Search Search and AI data early last year, and after a few months, she began to prevent the main search engines from crawling their data unless it was paid. She also said that the reputable API changes from 2023, which forced some third -party applications to close, which led to the protests, because these applications programming facades were abused to train artificial intelligence models.

Redait also concluded a deal of artificial intelligence with Openai, but she filed a lawsuit against anthropologist in June, claiming that Anthropor was still embodied by Reddit even after Antarubor said he was no longer flowing.
