That extension does work, but do we know they use it?

by flerovium 3y ago
In theory, this might work. But is it true? Do lots of sites have an archive.is whitelist?

Can you explain? Who has purchased the subscription? I'm sure there's a no-redistribution clause in the subscription agreement.

POC or STFU We can't assess how good it is if it's in closed beta. It's all cherry-picked twitter.

It's not zero-sum: the plaintiff and the defense can both do their job. This is the fundamental misunderstanding of anti-plaintiff reform. Justice isn't served when neither the plaintiff nor defense are doing anything.
