The Internet Archive is now blocked by 340 local news outlets, up from an initial number, due to concerns that AI companies might scrape the nonprofit's repositories for training data. The outlets, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and USA Today Co., fear this could harm the public interest. This move follows a previous report that major news publishers started blocking the archive. The exact number of organizations blocking the archive has increased significantly over time.
