just checked it still backed those up? also if you know how to code you can find some repos on github that does this automatically on your machine while keep protesting about things like this. also wayback machine did far more good than harm and you can see they got sued pretty bad last year for keeping shit up and available on hackernews.

Nobody's saying they're doing more harm than good. We all love archive.org. But it's worrisome if even that site has to start censoring.

can you bring more examples though? like they run on a limited budget and one exception is not convincing.

One exception is not convincing?

I feel like this exception is pretty big. And the larger the budget, the more likely to be compromised it becomes.

I think when you become ok censuring one thing, it becomes very easy to censor many things.

well it's hardly an exception first of. as of today they have the link, so you could just screenshot last week and post today and fake that. im not saying you did but that is doable. honestly, i don't think it's that big. it's there. they put it back up. just check.
