Wayback Machine - A Tool for Transparency est in 2001
We love transparency!
Last night I started to watch "Terms and Conditions may apply" which is a documentary found on Netflix created by a guy called Cullen Hoback. I didn't watch it til the end as I was tired, and will finish it this evening. Its a program dedicated to what the title of it says, delving into the agreements that people are agreeing to whilst not reading the small prints.
One thing that it taught me in the first half that I watched, was that there is a website existing where they have saved all the web pages from the past so that they are archived online as proof and transparency. Google have already falsely stated things concerning the privacy policy ect from over the years and the google archive of previous web pages do not match up to the website of Wayback Machine, proving that Google are lying about their own history.
This is a very interesting tool and I want to share the correct web addy to it for others to use and explore..
Copy & Pasted from their website -
"The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge."
"We began in 1996 by archiving the Internet itself, a medium that was just beginning to grow in use. Like newspapers, the content published on the web was ephemeral - but unlike newspapers, no one was saving it. Today we have 20+ years of web history accessible through the Wayback Machine and we work with 450+ library and other partners through our Archive-It program to identify important web pages."
Let it be known!

Have you found anything interesting concerning other websites and privacy policy claims from the past?
Most people are not reading the agreement at all. Not just the fine print.

I also was thinking that people are so FOMO in life and not just crypto, that even if they know the risks they would still use it "because everyone else is!"
