Thanks for posting this, I have passed a message to a friend of Aaron's dad.

Awesome :) Hope this gets solved soon as I think it's important to keep Aaron's thoughts alive

Np, he would have noticed this thread sooner or later anyway, maybe this makes it happen a bit sooner.

That's "how" not "why". Most major services tailor queries based on the source IP, for some reason when archive.is does it to cloudflare queries it's either broken or purposefully broken. At first I thought it might be something to do with 1.1.1.1 in the archive.is network but then I noticed cloudflare queries on behalf of clients don't even source from that IP.

I doubt his kind of "dangerous" thinking will be allowed to be spread for much longer in our corporate dystopian internet. It's just a matter of time before speech daring to criticize the corporations will be considered a security threat or whatever and immediately deleted.

Based on which precedent did you arrive at this conclusion?

His post "I hate the news"(0) was(is) very influential for me personally.

It was seminal in what become a rather significant change in my habits and view of the world. I am now very conscious that news are entertainment, purely and simply. With the goods and bads of any other entertainment form.

From time to time, while explaining my position to others (often seen as kind of radical), I refer this post. I hope it continues to be available.
