Web archive
Web archives keep copies of web pages on different dates; the best known is the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
Why it matters
A story deleted at source can stay reachable for years through its archive link. Archive copies rarely rank but are searched deliberately.
How to remove
Email the Internet Archive with reasons and evidence. See removing pages from the Wayback Machine.
Frequently asked questions
Is an archive copy a new publication?
It varies by country; in practice an archive request is much faster than litigation.
