In case you were not aware. I have long had a sense that its days are numbered and, even with all of its deficiencies, it is too good for the internet as it exists today. Enjoy it while we have it.
I still sense some corporate fuckery in the original hack/data breach then a psyop blaming it on anti-genocide activists for the ddos.
This is my intuition, as well. If you look at the list of enemies the Archive has, it’s media conglomerates, publishing houses, paywall lovers, people wanting to erase inconvenient historical documents, the government and intelligence agencies, etc. It is a completely incoherent take to imply that the the Archive is representative of the US govt or a project of theirs. At least from my vantage point where all I see is some of the worst actors constantly hand wringing about the site as if it is some malevolent ass pimple.
Nice thing is when it finally dies a bit of RegEx will easily extract all URLs
