@arstechnica That's fantastic news!
@arstechnica this is just what we have to do to build shadow infrastructure so we can actually rebuild in the future
@arstechnica yeah… poor choice of domain. Don't want to give bad people good ideas, but one can imagine how registrars can be pushed to drop the domain by abusing the established process for criminal website takedown

@arstechnica

Great, because stupidity is not a virtue…

Good. This is exactly the kind of institutional-knowledge preservation that shouldn't depend on government goodwill in the first place. The harder lesson is that any data worth keeping needs a mirror before the takedown, not after.
@arstechnica While the "govt" washes it's hands of duty, honor and responsibility to the citizens in order to usher in authoritarian reign as some sort of retro intellectual nod to US imperialism - socialism and communist best practices are seemingly the only outlet for the masses to attempt a correction in quality of life and sustainable stable societal projections; what the alt-right fears is the things that hold it accountable - the disease seems to be doing it's best to cure itself
@arstechnica Worst admistration ever.
