Technologically no. Reddit sends out the data to 10s of millions of users as part of their normal operations. They need to try to block those who collect that data for the IA. Reddit has the very short end of the stick.

The problem is that evading such counter-measures may be criminal in the US. Obviously, EU laws are much harsher.

Slightly related, can you explain how (a few times for me) an archived page I tried to revisit got erased?

I don't know their take-down policy. Could be privacy, could be copyright.

I think they are shielded by Section 230 under US law. That means, if they don't do take-downs when requested, they become liable just like the original uploader. So it depends on whether they think they can defend something as fair use. IDK what they do with requests under non-US laws.
