A nice social attack is to create an internet archive looking website call it archive.newtld and use it to create social proof of things you didn't actually do. "Oh yeah the Washington Post did a redesign but here are my past 10 posts which I saved in archive: link"
In post truth internet, proving archives is going to be tough and unless there's some other form of verification it's going to be useless fast for "proving" purposes.
You can think bigger and do this to forge stories about anything you want in any website. Nobody checks authenticity of archive urls and there's several sites already, plus a lot of these services do URL re-writing, so it's hard unless there's some authorative thing.
