You cannot prevent this, but you can and should make it harder.
There is a certain group of things that should be hard to share (not to mention illegal, but execution videos and calls to kill infidels are already illegal to share), and archive makes it easier to share.
You can and should educate people, of course, but you should make the propaganda (again, all the war videos, all the execution videos, all the cut heads and shot disbelievers) harder to get.
The widely shared IS propaganda has been cited as a factor why ISIS is so popular lately. Why so many people are radicalising. The lenient approach archive.org is having to this is helping them and they have big role in destabilizing the current world, if only indirectly.
Yes they are deleting some of the videos but don't delete copies that are uploaded seconds later with the same names. YouTube and others are much more proactive with deleting jihadi propaganda. Archive.org is jihadi youtube.
I don't like it personally. But yeah DDoS is not the solution I guess
- wyager 10y agoWell I'm glad you have the objective viewpoint on which kinds of propaganda are OK and which aren't. If ISIS recruiting materials shouldn't be hosted, then neither should military recruiting materials from any other nation or political group. Of course, the real solution here is to not try to police political speech on the internet and let people decide what they believe for themselves. If people are deciding to join ISIS, our job is to communicate why we think ISIS is wrong, not to subject the internet to moral censorship.
- joepie91_ 10y agoHave you actually read the comment you're responding to? You cannot both remove the content and educate users. You have to pick one of the two, and "removing the content" isn't going to solve the problem. You are completely missing the point, and just repeating what you said before. EDIT: > The widely shared IS propaganda has been cited as a factor why ISIS is so popular lately. Why so many people are radicalising. The lenient approach archive.org is having to this is helping them and they have big role in destabilizing the current world, if only indirectly. This is horseshit. As I've already said, the problem isn't that the propaganda exists. It's that people unquestioningly believe it. I'm sure that it "has been cited as a factor", because that's a far easier way to look like you're dealing with the problem, than to actually try and solve it. That doesn't make it correct in the slightest.

- Shaanie 10y agoI would imagine it could be related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action. Although I am not a lawyer, so take that with a pinch of salt.
- woah 10y agoYou think that ISIS is popular because you are being hyped up by politicians who have an election to win. You've been fooled.
