If anyone can provide a slightly more up-to-date souce (their X post, for example) I'd appreciate it

Yeah, I've see people speculating that it could be some corporate hit-job on behalf of book publishers, and I get it, that exotic possibility is attractive, but reality is usually much more mundane. It's likely to just be some randos doing it for the lulz and IA was vulnerable for whatever reason. Book publishers have sadly been enjoying plenty of success in court against IA. They don't need to get their hands dirty.
