Not surprising. They archive information that powerful people would rather ~~we forget~~ monetise.

FTFY

It's both. I'm sure Puff Daddy, and R Kelly would rather we forget all the horrible things they've done rather than make money off of it. At the same time the NYTimes and the Atlantic would love to make money off their articles about those two people.

That literally has nothing to do with archive.org

Archive.com is not archive.org.

I keep seeing people reference diddy did something bad, without mentioning what he did......

Half a dozen people have accused him of sexual assault.

He assaulted a singer named Cassie.

Addition to what others have stated. He is in trouble for more than just one woman. There are many claiming, but Cassie was the first (I think) that accused him and got paid to not say anything. That made his civil suit with her go away, but the feds built up a case and busted on human trafficking amongst other things. His old employee has a bunch of recordings of illegal stuff.

So we're accusing P.Diddy and R. Kelley of DDOSing the Internet Archive, then?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Exactly. We're allowed to know based on what we can afford to know.
