I sure to appreciate new services like this, since finding what I believe is The Wayback Machine (archive.org) to have manipulated or removed content recently....petty political and covid stuff even.

Do you have examples, by any chance? Usually they get pressured to remove things, but the things you mention shouldn't be able to get into judicial trouble. It's stuff they'd be deleting out of their own volition / malintent, which would be pretty damning.

Examples that compel erasure of government website pages and watchdogs like archive.org, don't really leave any tracks and flood the net with faked old impressions.

Be sure, though, history seems to be more frequently rewritten in this day of Internet memory.

One in particular I was looking for, was the earlier version of the flawed "Tennessee Study", which found early on that the unvaccinated were 2.34 times more likely to be re-infected with Covid, an assertion that is highly suspect, considering the huge body of studies we have now.

At some point that study changed to add the "two months" to the end and to remove the data table that listed the months of reinfection. This change happened months after the CDC was holding this as their golden child study, claiming 8 or 10 months...all while 4 months or more months had no-data (zeros) for the vaccinated according to the now missing data from the pre-print. I also can no longer find the pre-print on Reddit, where I first saw it and noticed the deception. The r/COVID19 sub or whatever it was, which is only for scholarly talk.
