Really this is where AP drew the line?
Trump will rename them for this
I know of at least one US government web page that still references “Gulf of Mexico”, but I don’t want to link it, because I’m very curious to see how long it can fly under the radar. I have a thing set up that checks the page regularly and will alert me whenever it changes.
Is there a way to set up archive.org or something like that to save regular snapshots without risking drawing more attention to it?
Install ArchiveBox. Even if you don’t have a home server or VPS, you can run it on your regular PC - it’s just a Docker container, or if you don’t like Docker, you can run the Python code directly. http://archivebox.io/
That way, it’s under your full control, and you keep all the data.
For tracking changes to sites, changedetection.io is free and open-source if you self-host it. Just their remotely hosted version costs money.
Use archive.is and manually save it every hour?
archive.org is subject to takedown requests, so its pointless.
I hate news articles so much. “The (underlined) Associated Press said” ahh, this must be a link to the actual quote, I’ll read that. Nope! Just a link to their website. At least it’s not as bad as other sites that link to other random articles.
The worst are the outlets that appear to outright refuse to link to anything but their own site… It will reference something, and instead of the link actually going to the thing, it goes to the last article they posted on the thing. Ugh. Few things make me leave a news site faster.
