    this would be impossible

    Perfect.

    I’d be interested in seeing real examples where lives are threatened. I find it unlikely that the internet archive would be the exclusive arbiter of so-called deadly information

      There was an actual example where a journalistic article about afghanistan accidentally leaked names of some sources and people who helped westerners in afghanistan, which did actually endanger those people’s lives.

        If they’re leaked, they’re leaked. The archive doesn’t change that one way or the other

          Gotcha so you actually asked your previous question in bad faith as you had no interest in the answer to begin with.

      I thought of something but I don’t know if it’s a good example.

      Here’s the hypothetical:

      A criminal backs up a CSAM archive. Maybe the criminal is caught, heck say they’re executed. Pedos can now share the archive forever over encrypted messengers without fear of it being deleted? Not ideal.
