Evidence

For many years, a great fear was that internet content was permanent, with many nations passing “right to be forgotten” laws to help citizens expunge articles from Google. By the 2020s, old articles began to disappear without a trace, and Internet Archive, the most important nonprofit for preservation, was under attack. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 701
