Archive Team is probably one of the most reputable organisations on the internet at this point. Being careful is great, but when you yourself linked to a page that provides an extraordinary amount of information explaining exactly who they are and what they're doing (plus the source code to prove it!), it comes across as fearmongering.
- unityByFreedom 6y agoMost reputable? I don't think so. Archive.org and EFF are far more well known. Also, when I wrote this comment, the home page 404'ed for me. Naming yourself after a well known org and adding "team" after it doesn't sit well with me.
- ajayyy 6y agoThe name "archive" isn't reserved for the Internet Archive. ArchiveTeam is not an organisation, just a group of volunteers.
- sellyme 6y ago> Naming yourself after a well known org They're named after the concept of archiving things, as the entire point of the group is to archive things. Archive Team itself is extremely well-known and has been the primary force archiving shut-down websites for over a decade. The 1TB Geocities archive - possibly the most famous website archival project ever - was their work.
