    I was wondering why I hadn’t been able to access Internet Archive yesterday… Who would take down what is the digital equivalent to the Library of Alexandria? I can only imagine some really childish people who have nothing better to do with their lives. I hope that the website can recover from the attack soon! 🙏

      I can think of a few possibilities

      1: peddlers of misinformation

      2: people who love the poorly educated and want the misdeeds of their political allies to be forgotten.

      3: copyright trolls.

      Can’t figure out if this is a joke or serious, so just in case, you might want to look up what happened to the Library of Alexandria.

        Oh I already know about that. The Internet Archive has been dubbed the digital equivalent of the Library of Alexandria before, due to its size, similar purpose, and significance. My comparison was for that reason.
