← Anthropic — deprecations

Observed 14 August 2026

A change to how this archive extracts text

our formatting, not theirs

Archiving switched from whole pages to the document body. The lines that vanished are navigation menus, sidebars and a cookie banner that were never part of the policy — our extraction changed, the publisher's document did not.
