It's still on archive.org . Apparently NPR started forwarding to a new URL after doing the retraction.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180403204501/https://www.npr.o...

I got the original URL from the original HN post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16752468

I wonder if this will have the Steisand Effect.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

I'm not sure it applies. Streisand effect is more when one person/group wants to publish something and another more powerful group wants it hidden, people want to root for the underdog. In this case they're both the same group. When the original group says they made mistakes, it sort of taints how much people value it.

I wonder if archive.org/archive.is wills soon be running afoul of EU laws.

No, because the only thing the EU is gunning after is how easy it is to access the information. Easy to access though simple google search? Needs to be removed. Only found through searching through archives? Not a problem.

Why would there be a distinction between two different search services just because one is using a historical database?

What happens when the search engine indexes the archive?

Do they have offices in EU? The US has very strong freedom of speech rights. EU's are weaker. So it makes sense for them to only be based in the US.
