  • Biological and psychological variance is an Internet part of humanity. When you say this I’m immediately reminded of fascist ideals and efforts to ‘normalize’ and ‘conformize’ people, and not just from this side of the spectrum. So I think this is a somewhat dangerous argument to make.

    At large, it’s human nature to elevate these kinds of people, that’s why they end up in such high positions. I’m not sure we can change that. And that’s where regulations and requirements by law come in, as well as public record and press, to keep them in check.

    I get the sentiment and frustration in your comment though.








  • Regarding your last point, it seemed pretty clear to me that they gave only one or few URLs to AdGuard, AdGuard informed archivetoday, and they removed that content. What they’re saying here is that the other URLs, the other illegal content they did not even disclose URLs to, still exist and have not been removed. Which is obvious, why would they have been removed when they are not known or reported.

    This understanding of mine is supported by their text earlier in the document where they talk about having shared only few of those they know of, and that these are available upon request by law enforcement or adguard.

    All of this still leaves open why they do not report the illegal content themselves, so that it gets removed. And the answer seems likely to be: So they can report to proxies with the intention that archivetoday gets blocked on “proxy” services.
