    I was wondering why I hadn’t been able to access Internet Archive yesterday… Who would take down what is the digital equivalent to the Library of Alexandria? I can only imagine some really childish people who have nothing better to do with their lives. I hope that the website can recover from the attack soon! 🙏

      Who would take down what is the digital equivalent to the Library of Alexandria?

      I can think of a few possibilities

      1: peddlers of misinformation

      2: people who love the poorly educated and want the misdeeds of their political allies to be forgotten.

      3: copyright trolls.
