The Internet Archive - FRAUD
501c3 - "please donate - we need help creating more rotating treadmills"
All one needs to know in order to make more sense out of this data is that I finally decided to sign up for an account with the InternetArchive around 2:45am on December 9th, 2022 using the name ‘PatentlyFalse’ specifically for the purposed of saving an archived ‘snapshot’ of the entire PhotoRobot.com website vs. otherwise having to save each page individually.
Less than two hours later in the span of only 5 minutes in which I captured 2 full screen pdf’s - One of my just saved version of ‘PhotoRobot.com/blog’ as well as the last supposed archived version of it (2 or 3 months into the past) I would end up discovering two weeks later (while flipping through PDF’s) that the total archive count for ‘PhotoRobot.com/blog’ had ended up changing from 45 total archives to 47 total archives, with the two additional, new dates that were created visually appearing on the top-bar timeline in the last quarter of 2021 (so pages were pasted/added into the past to create a false history)
It is safe to say that my unexpected full site snapshot of PhotoRobot caused some sort of alarm bells to go off as not more than two hours later they started adding fake pages. Keep in mind I prefer to work during the night/early am when I’m stuck on the computer and so this fraudulent activity at the Internet Archive was apparently in full swing around 4:30am on a Tuesday morning.
The data you see is from the web archive auto generated footers added to various .css and .js files in the html folders of full webpage downloads (I have many thousands…) I discovered there was an error occurring where the footer ‘Saved On Date’ was still updating but the ‘Archived On Date’ was not updating for some reason. This was happening to other .css and .js files in the same folder (webpage) but I only did a full parse of a single .js file
12/09/2022 <~~~ This is the date I signed up and saved the entire PhotoRobot site
