I mean, this is bullshit but I have no issues with it?
There is not a contract that the moment you post an article or a blog post you will host it until the end of time. And CNET has been around for basically as long as the modern internet (and are ahead of the curve on firing all their writers and using AI to generate articles based on press releases...)
This is why it is important to support orgs like The Internet Archive/The Wayback Machine. Because even if we had some nonsense law that any large company has to host everything until the end of time: What about smaller outlets?
Thank you for... restating almost exactly what I said in the comment that you stopped reading after the first, slightly provocative, sentence?
At least deleted_by_author makes for a neat comment on how nobody is obliged to host their content until the end of time. Sure, people can delete away, but it leaves a frustrating gap some times. :)
