Corrections log

On 8 and 9 October 2026 we withdrew 919 change records that had been first published between 18 April and 7 October 2026. They had been public for a median of 108 days (between 1 and 174).

Each recorded a difference between two captures of a page that lay in page furniture, not in the document: navigation menus, footers, page titles, language pickers, related-article lists, embedded page data, live counters and clocks. Our text extractor stopped reading these in two steps: navigation and footer stripping, deployed 10 September 2026 (890 of the 919 were first published before it), and extractor version 5, deployed 7 October 2026. Version 5 also drops page titles, video fallback text, menus built as select lists, link labels, loading placeholders and related-post lists, and folds invisible characters and typographic quotes. Re-extracted with version 5, the two captures behind each record contain the same text.

Each record has its own entry in this log, quoting what it described. Its page stays readable as a withdrawn record.

1 clause(s) on this document quoted passages that are not next to each other in the document as if they were one continuous quotation. Every part was the document's own text, but a reader checking the quote against the source would not find it. 1 now show each omission with an ellipsis (…); each was checked to have its parts in the same order as the document and to match it word for word. Measured Oct 5, 2026 against the version this page publishes.

4 clause(s) on this document quoted passages that are not next to each other in the document as if they were one continuous quotation. Every part was the document's own text, but a reader checking the quote against the source would not find it. 2 now show each omission with an ellipsis (…); each was checked to have its parts in the same order as the document and to match it word for word. 2 were withdrawn, because their parts do not appear in the document in the order quoted, and an ellipsis would still misstate the order.

Every capture we hold, including the one published from Sep 22, 2026, the version we published as Google Nest's Terms of Service was the Google Store's Nest product category page (store marketing, no terms), not the document. No capture we hold is the document, so the page now states that it has no verified version. Measured Oct 5, 2026.

When we withdrew a clause, we removed it from every list, count, search result and sitemap on the site, but the clause's own page kept working. Anyone who reached it by a saved link, a citation or an old search result saw the full clause, with nothing to say it had been withdrawn. This was true of every clause we have ever withdrawn or retired, from when clause pages were introduced in April 2026 until Oct 5, 2026: it was a gap in how withdrawal worked, not a withdrawal that went wrong. We found it on Oct 5 when a clause withdrawn four days earlier was still being served in full. Each of those addresses now shows that the clause is no longer published, with the correction that withdrew it where there is one, and never the withdrawn text. Measured Oct 5, 2026: 18,746 clauses affected at the time of the fix; after it, none of the 1,247 addresses we checked showed withdrawn content.

Every capture we hold, including the one published from Jul 11, 2026, the version we published as Spotify's Platform Rules was Spotify's "Oh no! This page got tripped up" error page, not the document. No capture we hold is the document, so the page now states that it has no verified version. The 6 clause(s) we listed were mined from that page and are withdrawn. Measured Oct 5, 2026.

From Aug 18, 2026 the version we published as Heap's Privacy Policy was a 624-character marketing page that heap.io/privacy now serves, not the document. The page now shows our capture of Jul 11, 2026, the newest capture that is the document itself; it may be older than what Heap publishes today. Measured Oct 5, 2026.

From May 1 to May 11, 2026, and again from Jun 2, 2026 the version we published as Ticketmaster's Terms of Use was a 534-character Ticketmaster help-centre page with no terms in it, not the document. The page now shows our capture of May 31, 2026, the newest capture that is the document itself; it may be older than what Ticketmaster publishes today. Measured Oct 5, 2026.

This clause, published May 9, 2026, quoted text as OpenAI's OpenAI Terms of Use. That text is not in the document: not in any version we have captured, not in the live page, and not in the Internet Archive's capture of the page from May 8, 2026, the same week we quoted it. It was written by an early step that did not check quotations against the document. Measured Oct 5, 2026.

This clause, published Apr 3, 2026, quoted text as OpenAI's OpenAI Terms of Use.
