I've heard it has already happened. Specifically the internet archive removed vidoes of the TempleOS developer Terry Davis' live streams because of problematic content. If the internet archive is already curated for content then yeah there is a 100% chance that there will be more curation of content.

Wait til you hear about my local library. You can walk in and read or borrow any book without paying!

Kiwifarms as well. They are a bit of a pushover when it comes to controversy.
Does anyone have any facts/citations on if this is a myth/coping mechanism I created, or reality?

I thought Archive just removed access, but kept the content. I know that from a user perspective that is a distinction without a difference, but for posterity it matters. Does anyone have any facts/citations on if this is a myth/coping mechanism I created, or reality?

#20Back in the days when things were sane my first thought reading this headline would have been: Nice, that‘s sounds official and important. Nowadays my first thought is: Wait, does this mean Trump can mess around with this?
