    What a waste of time. The Internet archive is not in any way associated with the US government except by geography. I hope that “hacktivist” get a clue.

      right? literally the only thing i can think to make this make sense is they deleted like… 1 snapshot of something incriminating and then used the chaos to hide it?

      otherwise… wth… the internet archive is just an indisputable force for good
