Take note Republicans (which I'm doubting many even care anymore), your party thinks short term profits for a few are more important than science and the environment for all.
Wouldn't want any of that pesky true climate-change-proving data available, now would we?

The EPA plans to sunset its online archive - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30795719 - March 2022
I'm presuming this is all preserved in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of_Term_Web_Archive (though making that more easily available would be great -- another project for https://wayback-labs.sf.archive.org/ )
Has anyone scraped this already for offline use?
Next thing the moon landing hoax will become part of Americas curriculum ala Interstellar
Why are companies allowed to remove themselves from the web archive?
They shouldn't be.
Where are r/archiveteam when you need them?
If they weren't afraid of the data being public they wouldn't be removing it.
The only saving grace of this administration is that their incompetence helps to slow down their evilness.
Everything bad is good for this administration.
I hate to say this because it's so overused, but this move is certainly veering into 1984 territory
Wiping and rewriting history is straight from 1984 (novel). It's insane US let this happen.

The adverb “quietly” has become such an AI smell to me, even if it’s probably not one in this instance.
