But wait, it gets worse. So Peter Strzok of FBI fame is in the news again....but somehow, someone 'scrubed' him:
"The posts by Peter Strzok were deleted from the Wayback Machine because he himself deleted all of his Twitter/X posts in July 2025. Following his deletion of posts on his official account, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine removed all archives of his Twitter/X posts, effectively excluding them from its public archive. This removal appears to have been authorized or acted upon by the Internet Archive, as the archived URLs for his posts have been excluded.
The deletion coincided with heightened scrutiny of Strzok and federal investigations related to the Russia collusion allegations and other political controversies. There are reports that the deletions were part of a broader effort by Strzok amid ongoing federal criminal investigations concerning the “Russia Hoax” and related matters. This led to public concern and debate about control over archived information, censorship, and information preservation, especially since the Internet Archive also removed other controversial archived content.
In summary:
• Peter Strzok deleted all of his posts on X (formerly Twitter) around late July 2025.
• Following this, the Internet Archive removed the archived versions of his posts from the Wayback Machine.
• The reasons appear linked to Strzok’s actions and possibly requests impacting the archive, against a backdrop of federal investigations and political scrutiny.
• This raised concerns about archive censorship and transparency around Internet Archive’s control over such content removal .
...........................
"No official detailed public explanation from the Internet Archive about the exact authorization or method of removing these posts has been found, but it aligns with the deletion of posts by the account holder and subsequent archive URL exclusions.
.........................
"In summary, there is no easily accessible comprehensive alternative web archive offering full timestamps and complete content for Peter Strzok’s deleted X posts beyond what was once on the Wayback Machine. Partial captures or textual excerpts might still be found in legal documents, investigative journalism archives, or smaller niche archives, but no widely known fully indexed alternative archive exists at this time .

"In summary, while AI can struggle with reliability when internet records are deleted or manipulated, robust data sourcing, transparency about data provenance, and human verification are key to maintaining trustworthy AI outputs despite the ephemeral nature of some online information. The Strzok example underscores the importance of multiple corroborating sources in AI knowledge bases for ensuring information integrity.
