So I just went to archive.ph and archive.org to archive this url page : https://www.instagram.com/p/Chon-8JjeP6/

Because zeleski had uploaded another cute looking nazi logo wearing soldiers pic.

But no archive site could archive it at all and all the moreover when I refreshed the Instagram post page after trying to archive it, the nazi related picture was deleted?!?! Whaaaat?? It was up there for more than 24hrs unnoticed but suddenly when I tried to archive it failed and the photo got deleted??? (You can check it out yourself by visiting the url)

Edit: I understand why the site archivers may not work because of how a site like Instagram is designed. But the main point here is how the picture got deleted just after I’ve tried to archive them.

    Due to the way sites like Instagram work, there’s essentially no chance that the image was deleted due to the archiving attempt. Most likely it was just very unlucky timing. Massive sites like Instagram don’t have just a single place where they store all their content. Their content is stored over hundreds to thousands of servers all over the world. If the deletion was triggered by the archiving, the change would not have propagated quickly enough for you to immediately see the photo having been deleted. It would take time.
