Interestingly, in the end of the article, the FDA links to an old article hosted on web.archive.org[1] even though the linked article was originally published by FDA themselves. Considering the linked article was only published at 2022, a merely 2 years ago, maybe the FDA should do more to prevent dead links.

Perhaps government departments (and companies) taking advantage of archive.org storing their old docs should be appropriately supporting them?


I don't know how much money the internet archive has received from official US government institutions, but they do receive at least some as you can see from their list of foundations that help with funding them: https://archive.org/about/


This could also make is more difficult for new administrations to "disappear" documents from government sites by storing them on an archival site.
