I don't have an opinion here, but note that the site archive.is has no connection with the Internet Archive (archive.org), and is a private site, not a nonprofit. In fact it used to be blacklisted on Wikipedia at one point, though not since 2016.
(I can't remember the details of why, but it appears to be because some bot was adding links to archive.is on Wikipedia. Discussions about this ban:

— there sure is a lot of discussion on Wikipedia. And the article about the site does not mention who it's run by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today)
