How does the Archive usually cope with sites that have a flux of illegal content being posted and then removed by moderators? Trying to keep a "clean" archive of KF seems like far more effort than it's worth.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoYou could say that for any forum including Reddit and Twitter that have orders of magnitude more pulled content than a relatively small but edgy forum. And it’s not even clear KF has a huge problem with that since, for example, posts that threatened Keffals were two posts in a thread with 50k pages from sleeper accounts that were immediately deleted. But it’s pretty useful to see now-deleted content when allegations come up. Maybe the archive should wait for the law. The biggest issue with KF’s archive is how easily a motivated person was able to get it pulled especially at a time where the only option left was to take everyone’s word that the content said what it said.

Profit is the only principle that applies anymore. If it's more profitable to appear to be dedicated to free speech and the law, that's what companies will do. If it's more profitable to appeal to the angry mobs, that's what they'll do instead.
