They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

It's part of the fascist playbook
They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.
"My lies can't be wrong if I erase all records of the truth"
sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…
Your taxes can only go towards kidnappings! /s
Just donated 50 ♥️
❤️Donated. Cash is difficult right now, but I had some crusty old crypto sitting around just shrinking every month - they make it very easy to send some crypto their way so I was happy to dump it.
Thanks errer
Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way
❤️ love you Internet Archive
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍

Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:

The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of "wasteful government spending"
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.

They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.
The people want them gone.
And it’s 100% justified.
They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.
They used to burn books. Now they just defund information storage services.
You know what is so ironic? I remember not that long ago (OK, like 20 years ago...) that once something was on the internet, it is there forever as long as file sharing and multiple hosts do it... but it has become abundantly clearly that, despite the fact that it can be REALLY hard to get shit off the internet, it doesn't make it impossible. We've already seen it happen. The truth is, there is so much stuff that people DON'T widely share, and even then, the interest in their sharing in a torrent style is limited (I once downloaded leaked emails regarding transphobic propagandists talking to one another and while I kept seeding for almost a year, I barely got anyone downloading), that it is actually possible to make large amounts of stuff just vanish.

$345,000?
That's like, 2 devs and an 8 CPU VM.
Holy shit, that's like not even a rounding error to the US Government. So obvious what he is doing.

Elon Musk is what you’d get if you gave the illusion of personality to a 4Chan troll.
He's the poster child for scared, greedy, paranoid nepo babies shielded from reality by wealth inheritance and wealth inequality, incapable of empathy turning him into a fascist bigot idiot trying to kill other people to hoard more money.

I am not now, nor have I ever been a Christian, but shit like this makes me go Jesus Fucking Christ.
Archive.org is a critical repository of knowledge and archiving the internet. Elon has cut nothing, but damaged a ton. It is kinda incredible how many damage he has done.
Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.

Trying to burn digital books. Fascism in 2025.
If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I'm in.
I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.
Ugh some asshole who’s only going to live a century depriving an endless future of historical knowledge. Musk needs to be detained and imprisoned.

Who else is waiting to see "DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia"?
What's the size on this can I download a copy
Pedabytes, but you can help in other ways. Donating, uploading and the Archive Warrior. There may be waits to support via torrents too but I do not know.
noo I found pages there that where offline for years before I read a mention of them 😥
