- SXX 1mo agoCome on. It's not WikiLeaks. If they were targeted by FBI it would be down.
- dakolli 1mo agoWhat do you mean, I didnt make it up... Its detailed on the archive.today wikipedia page. The media barrons in the west have bribed the US government to pursue archive criminally on their behalf for helping people bypass paywalls. https://www.theverge.com/news/815691/fbi-subpoena-archive-is-owner https://www.theverge.com/news/815691/fbi-subpoena-archive-is...
- bulder 1mo agoThat's great, how does that absolve the archive.today maintainer's bad faith activities, including creating a country-wall?
- DaSHacka 1mo agoBecause if he's being targeted by the feds, he obviously he doesn't want his private information being published by some guy who self-admittedly did it on a whim? Is this really that hard to understand?
- dakolli 1mo agoUmm, every USA company blocks North Korea, Iran and often Cuba. One guy blocking a single country is not at all problematic.
- wongarsu 1mo agoAll that tells us is that the site is probably not run by the FBI. It could still be run by the CIA, Russian intelligence, or some lone morally neutral guy from Prague
- bawolff 1mo agoIf it was run by the CIA or russian intelligence, they wouldn't have burned their asset with petty grudges.
- nosrepa 1mo agoHave you seen this current administration?
- DaSHacka 1mo agoYou realize the CIA is nonpartisan, right?
- someguyiguess 1mo agoI genuinely cannot tell if this was meant to be humorous.
