       New post from Joe Mullin, EFF's Sr. Policy Analyst: Publishers say they’re blocking the Internet Archive because they fear AI scraping. This is a misguided notion: it won’t stop AI, but it will erase the web’s historical record.@eff has the story ⤵️https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record

       @internetarchive @eff Most publishers never liked the archive, so I suspect they're just using this as a convenient excuse?Besides, the digital lending feature requires an account, which AI wouldn't have access to anyway.

       @internetarchive @eff They should know that AI is unavoidable at this point.

       @internetarchive @eff It’s pretty obvious they’re going to publish stuff that doesn’t bear the touch of daylight.

       @internetarchive @eff There is possible room for compromise. If the publications are worried about losing readers to the Internet Archive, simply agree to embargo new content for a set period like 6 months.
