Amazes me the number of people who cry foul when something like this occurs. “Waaa censorship! This is evil! The internet is collapsing! Omg!”

1. Archive.org probably has just disallowed access. Not outright purged.

2. Shit drops off the internet literally every day

3. It’s a site full of edgelord incels who have a history of being complete pieces of shit

4. This isn’t a precursor to some horrible dystopian future of corporate control of thoughts!!111 that happened long ago ;)

Seriously though. All the panty twisting “oh noooo” wreaks of disingenuous bullshit under the guise of “but freedoms!”

You don’t have to leave the entirety of the content up to gauge it.

I mean, do you want TWBM to archive and leave up all childporn sites it accidentally crawls or similar? So individuals can gauge if it’s /actually/ bad or if it’s just a handful of twitter users squawking?

C’mon.
