Spain Orders Blocks on Archive.today and Its Mirrors

The Spanish government has ordered internet service providers to block access to the online archiving service Archive.today and its mirrors. Archive.today is used by activists and journalists to preserve and share content before it is removed or censored. The service allows users to take a snapshot of web pages and save them on its servers, making it harder for governments to erase online content. The move comes after the Spanish government passed a law that makes it a crime to publish false information about the COVID-19 pandemic, which critics argue is a form of censorship. The blocks were reportedly ordered by a Spanish court and are being enforced by internet service providers in Spain.
