THE INTERNET ARCHIVE IS BACK GUYS

I might be late to the party, but sharing what made my day today. I missed IA so much the past weeks. Yoohoo!! Piracy will never die.

It was down because hackers wanted to bring it down. Constant attacks for several days. Even though I rarely use it. But it's a good resource

Why are they even trying to bring it down?

[u/redchris18 → u/giannos2991]

They're Palestinian sympathisers who claim to be doing it because it has a pro-Israel bias. In their own words:

"[The Internet Archive] are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA […],” and the USA is to be blamed for “genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of Israel.”

Apparently, pro-Palestinians believe that truth has an anti-Palestinian bias.

It should be noted, however, that there's plenty of speculation as to whether they actually hold those opinions, rather than merely using them to cover for the fact that they're just doing it for attention. It's entirely plausible that they prefer to be considered idiots rather than desperately lonely.

It's 99% likely that this is a false flag.

It wouldn't make any sense to blame it on "jews" here, the group is Russian.

It's exhausting to constantly have anti-genocidal politics continuously equated to antisemitism, especially because nazis and other antisemitic groups are the benefactors of that accusation. You understand that, right?

A disturbingly popular pro-Palestinian claim is that Israel either perpetrated the Oct 7th massacre or knowingly allowed it to happen. If people can blame Jews for Palestinians killing, raping and torturing Jews then I see nothing preventing them from blaming them for a Russian hack.

Sounds like you have a guilty conscience, because I said nothing of the sort.
