Is there precedent for this type of removal? Even sites like the Daily Stormer still exist on Internet Archive, albeit with a login wall.

  I think that for sites like this, the best approach would be to archive but not allow access to archives for some arbitrarily long period of time (10 years? 100 years? the point being largely to preserve the contents for the benefit of some hypothetical future scholars of history and culture).

    I think it's better if such archived sites are free for all to read, just as the site originally would have been directly on the internet. There's no good reason to hide it.

      the more you look into it the more it seems like desperation to allow them to claim whatever they want about the website and not be bothered to show archives to prove it... this comment section alone... shit's scary

        Agreed, it seems like an unprecedented amount of effort being put in to entirely memory hole a website that exposes unsavoury deeds. Have we seen this happen for any other site? Even Wikileaks itself couldn't be brought down, despite the main man still languishing in prison, and being targeted by government agencies.
