This is delicious and will only surprise their base, who love to paint those of us in the queer community as sexually perverted fetishists who shouldn't be trusted with children.

FYI: for those who have been using archive.today/archive.is/archive.ph for paywall evasion and archiving articles for posterity.

Apparently the operator of this archiving service has been using the service for targeted harassment (both technical via DDOS, and social via doxxing) of someone. Wikipedia, which was also a heavy user of the service, has decided to move away from the service and is trying to plan out how to do so (it has been used for hundreds of thousands of references).

Posting mostly for awareness about the DDOS part... basically it means every time you visit the service your computer is used to send connection requests to the recipient of the harassment, slowing their computers to a crawl and making them unable to host content, effectively silencing them online. So, no one should click on or use any links from this service.

The doxing and harassment and ddos are pretty awful, but I think the worst part is that they're accused of altering archived copies of websites which means they can't be trusted as an archive.

They were straight up putting some dudes name into random crime articles to slander him, then tried to blackmail the guy, I think because he was a wikipedia editor?

I need to reread it all again sometime, dude fully crashed out

Wikimedia Foundation is big enough (and more importantly, foundation-y enough) that it should spin up its own archive.
