Internet archive/wayback machine are not as good as you think they are. That woman that Biden tried to make the "disinformation czar" (Nina Jankowicz) apparently had some stuff online that she had already scrubbed. Well, it turns out she is related to one of the people at the top of Wayback/Archive and they had everything removed there too. It's not often you see that.

Oh, and the dozen or so articles about that seem to be basically impossible to find now. That's fucking it. I am setting up my own website archive and will have it archive anything that I archive for posts here or anything I just dont want to lose. Maybe ill make it available on Tor or something.

Then again, when you are building the "Ministry of truth" the first thing you have to do is memory hole everything that might stand in your way. Fucking petty tyrants.

The Internet Archive has just lost a copyright case over whether they can lend out digitized books, which has resulted in the removal of over 500,000 books. It's impossible to provide such a service in the US without having a huge legal department.

I get the need to protect copyright, but it also limits the ability to freely share knowledge.
