Yes, anyone can upload anything.
1. I have seen "The item is not available due to issues with the item's content" many times while poking around. It's the Internet Archive's version of SIGSEGV or "Bad command or file name." This is due to DMCA mostly.
2. The kinds of dark items on the IA are extraordinary, for example https://archive.org/details/%77%68%61%74%63%64%63%72%61%77%6c https://archive.org/details/%77%68%61%74%63%64%63%72%61%77%6... (not NSFW; I've obfuscated the URL so it doesn't get indexed). If this makes no sense to you that's okay.
- greglindahl 9y agoI don't know why you think you've obfuscated the url, as a search engine guy I assure you that crawlers are not confused by that sort of obfuscation.
- exikyut 9y agoI meant "not get indexed" as in preventing this comment from showing up in searches for the unobfuscated text.
