Comment on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens

I guess this is an attempt to discredit them.
After working at many, many companies, security is usually very bad. This is typical. Not changing access tokens is also very common.

Discrediting someone usually has a goal of pushing customers to another source though. There is no other source of this information, so what would be the point?

Destroy a source of historical documents so that the past can be contested. Sew doubt, confusion, deniability. Hide evidence of past crimes, or inconvenient documents. Plant documents, etc.

Sow doubt. As in spreading it like seeds to take root and grow. 100% in agreement with you, just being a grammar Nazi. Carry on.

Lol, we should create a society of sorts along the lines of the original Bavarian Illuminati. Crate a decentralized storage network and archive of knowledge and history. Create a list of I portant shit that needs to be archived, and delegate standardized chunks (let’s say 5gb) of data that are to be downloaded by people. Anytime 5 or 10 people have downloaded a chunk, strike it off the list of priority archival and move onto the next chunk. For this to work, needs alot of people though.
