HN: privacy is absolutely critical Also HN: overwhelming support for one of the world's largest privacy violators, the Internet Archive, which can never comply with GDPR or any other stringent privacy laws under any circumstances because they have no idea what's in their archive and they intentionally make it difficult to remove privacy violating content from it (which they hoovered up without permission and now you can't even stop them from doing it because they ignore robots.txt) Yay for massive, epic scale privacy violations and being an abusive parasite that intentionally doesn't follow proper site directives! Even if IA survives this debacle, they're going to get wiped out by privacy violation lawsuits in the coming decade. Their entire archive will have to be dumped, or combed line by line for privacy violating content (at extraordinary cost).
