The image above is where https://archive.org blocked the link to the site. Here is the image where it blocked the link to the article: https://kekpe.pe/i/5ee9083cf216f.jpeg

If this occurs with any site you try to archive, remember that https://archive.today is an alternative.

Archive.org isn't used for you to archive stuff. It crawls the web and archives automatically. As it does so, it respects the "robots.txt" file at the root of the web server. If that file says "don't archive me" it doesn't.

There used to be a way where you could recommend it crawl a site, but you were never guaranteed when that site would be crawled.

tl;dr: this isn't censorship, this is misunderstanding of the Archive.org services.

Thanks very much for being both factually correct and courteous with your reply. Though my conclusion about archive.org censoring my link was wrong, I’m leaving the post up for others to read the comments and to learn the real reason why this happened.
