#13I speculate, and the conspiracy theorist in me believes, something of a compromising nature has been archived and they want that data inaccessible, but at the same time, pointing out what they want hidden would shine a light on it.

These are the doings of one of the myriad freelance "intelectual rights enforcement agents", which are paid on success and employed by some large media organization.
