# ia_archiver
# In the past, the Internet Archive (https://archive.org) used to have a
# bot called ia_archiver that you could allow (or disallow) to index your
# website, sometimes around 2017, this crawler stopped obeying robots.txt.

# Putting ia_archiver and setting it to «Disallow: /» will not work. If
# you really want your website to not be seen on this archive, you will
# need to E-Mail info@archive.org.
