On top of his, Bisan's Instagram account @wizard_bisan1 - from which the above videos were taken and mirrored on Youtube - also appears to be blacklisted by Archive.is, which will not allow me to make a mirror of her Instagram channel.

If I try to look for previous mirrors of her Instagram channel, Archive.is will not show them:

I’ve never been able to reliably archive instagram or Facebook with archive.today. I don’t believe it’s any kind of censorship, I think it has to do with needing an account to view certain things.

Archives of individual posts seem to work fine, and it wouldn’t if it truly was censored.


Just looking at all the other attempted archives of Instagram shows a majority of archives fail. https://archive.is/https://www.instagram.com/*


Archives aren’t perfect, and the Instagram login page prevents the Wayback Machine from showing archived pages most of the time. Usually it just depends on the updates to Instagram and if the update gives permission to archiving sites. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.

When a page is already mirrored in the Archive.is database, you get a pop-up asking you if you want to make a more recent mirror: "This page was last archived 7 months ago. If this snapshot looks obsolete you can [save] again"

I do not get this pop-up if I try to archive this page with the video feed. I swear, try it for yourselves, it will no longer give you the pop-up wit the [save] option.

I tried it for myself like you said, and the thing you said that doesn’t happen did happen. Shocking.



I don’t know if you were doing something wrong, or if the website just broke for a moment, but Archive.today / .is / .ph is trustworthy and is not censored.

Again, archives aren’t perfect, but seriously do more research before screaming censorship or you’ll start sounding like Josh.

I have issues archiving Twitter still.

Is it the issue where only the singular post archives and not the rest of the thread?

Just in general when I try it never finishes.
