Indian ISPs Blocking Access to Internet Archive

Several Internet service providers in India have

blocked access to Internet Archive - a non-profit organisation that runs Wayback Machine, a massive archive of webpages dating back to over a decade - many people reported on Tuesday. Internet Archive confirmed to Gadgets 360 that it is aware of the situation and eager to “see full access restored to archive.org.”

Some subscribers of Airtel, Aircel, and Act Internet, among other carriers, are seeing a DoT notification when they attempt to access Internet Archive. The notification reads, "Your requested URL has been blocked as per the directions received from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India."
