Thanks for the link. While I dont see the problem with this particular piece of information not being archived I'm still not happy about the precedent this set. Especially since these sort of things typically tend to encroach more and more. I'd wish they'd just backup everything (especially text) and reside in a jurisdiction where they can.
Precisely. It's not about the data itself (though one wonders what they are hiding*), more whether you're comfortable with the line that has been crossed. It's very damaging to trust, especially having seen how things play out in the current climate.
*From what I understand, she has a familial connection (niece) with the person who runs archive.org.
It's worth noting that there are alternatives but one should always be vigilant.
I'm not aware of alternatives on (or near) par with archive.org. Would you please share them?
