Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime?

As @hollyberries pointed out, archive’s servers are on American soil, if there’s a federal ban on improper(“fake”) knowledge, their assets could easily be seized. No laws would have to change from today for them to do this, they’d just have to think up a somewhat reasonable excuse…

Probably they’d use obscenity laws. Or they might bring lawsuit after lawsuit, dmca after dmca, until it drains them of their funds.

  I gotta get offline now. This morning hasn’t been too great for my mental health.

  I’m hopeful that the archivists were looking to transfer their servers elsewhere (if they could while in the middle of that lawsuit).
  
  If not it will likely be gone. :/

  Or copyright.
  
  Whether honest or not, copyright claims are a very powerful tool to take stuff down now, and fight about restoring it later.

  He doesn’t have to. He can issue an executive order and within hours, a military regimen takes their data center.
