"A page in Russian said: 'Access to the Internet resource Blocked by decision of the public authorities,' citing the Russian government agency responsible for internet censorship, Roskomnadzor."
"According to Roskomnadzor's listing for Archive.is, authorities confirmed that 'access is limited to the page,' but did not give a reason at the time of publication."
"Wikipedia editors recently decided to remove hundreds of thousands of links to Archive.today, saying they'd discovered Archive.today's code uses visitors' web browsers - without their knowledge - to bombard the website of a blogger who was critical of Archive.today's operations with junk network traffic."
Russian authorities have blocked Archive.today and its associated domains, as indicated by error pages stating access is restricted by public authorities. The censorship is attributed to Roskomnadzor, although no specific reason was provided. Despite the block, access to Archive.today was still possible from various devices and networks. The site is known for archiving content behind paywalls. Recently, Wikipedia editors removed links to Archive.today due to concerns over its code using visitors' browsers to generate unwanted traffic against a critic's site.
