===Wayforward Machine=== [[File:Wayforward Machine screenshot.png|thumb|Screenshot of viewing English Wikipedia on the Wayforward Machine]] On September 30, 2021, as a part of its 25th anniversary celebration, Internet Archive launched the "Wayforward Machine", a [[satire|satirical]], [[Web fiction|fictional website]] covered with pop-ups asking for personal information. The site was intended to depict a [[fiction]]al [[dystopia]]n timeline of real-world events leading to such a future, such as the repeal of [[Section 230]] of the [[United States Code]] in 2022 and the introduction of advertising implants in 2041.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Holt |first1=Kris |date=7 October 2021 |title=The Internet Archive's 'Wayforward Machine' paints a grim future for the web |work=[[Engadget]] |url=https://www.engadget.com/internet-archive-wayforward-machine-web-future-wayback-175936050.html |url-status=live |access-date=7 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211007182944/https://www.engadget.com/internet-archive-wayforward-machine-web-future-wayback-175936050.html |archive-date=October 7, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Imagine the future of the Internet |url=https://wayforward.archive.org/ia2046/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117143420/https://wayforward.archive.org/IA2046/ |archive-date=November 17, 2021 |access-date=7 October 2021 |website=Internet Archive}}</ref>
