Reddit is restricting its availability to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the latest victim of Reddit's crackdown on data access. The company has begun to place new restrictions on what the archive site will be able to access in a move that will significantly limit the Wayback Machine's ability to preserve information from Reddit.
With the change, the Wayback Machine, a project run by the nonprofit Internet Archive, will only be able to crawl Reddit's homepage. It will no longer be able to access comments, subreddit pages, post details, profiles and other data.
The move is the latest step Reddit has taken on Discover Copy
