Why are people fucking with the Internet Archive? Who benefits?
People use Archive links to avoid giving sites traffic.
This is a problem for advertisers and media corps.
Not saying they're the ones doing this, but they'd definitely benefit.
Wouldn't put it past them...
Someone else looked to the group claiming responsibility for this. It's a pro-Palestinian Russian group
Well right wingers want to ban books and services like IA make that harder since they provide easy access to download or digitally borrow those books. It makes it harder for them to deny people access to those books since they can find them online. Of course, there are other ways people can still obtain those books, IA isn't the only one, but it's the easiest and the most convent.
Maybe they're just trolls doing it for the lulz.
