I love how search engines display inaccessible links.

    as far as i can tell that policy never existed. The first instance of this was for academic articles being indexed behind a paywall, and they NEVER worked with the referrer being google.

      It kind of existed when Google included a link to every site’s cached content, but they removed that years ago.

          I am surprised I didn’t even notice that, I used to use it for when sites changed or were down. I guess there’s always internet archive sites if I were so inclined, but still sad.
