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

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 12 points 5 months ago

Archive.com is not archive.org.

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

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Half a dozen people have accused him of sexual assault.

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 4 points 5 months ago

He assaulted a singer named Cassie.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

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?

[-] steventrouble@programming.dev 11 points 5 months ago

Nobody said that

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

Nobody is denying it I noticed.

[-] steventrouble@programming.dev -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Blocked. Saying "nobody said that" is clearly a denial.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I wasn't being literal but go right ahead.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world -4 points 5 months ago

Then wtf does it have to do with anything related to the IA

You're either a troll or a dipshit. They introduced an example where both interests of removing information from the public forum and having the monopoly of reporting on that information work to undermine archiving. It is important for the truth and for public trust that we support Internet Archive and other archivists/historians.

They introduced an example of whay P.Diddy has to do with anything?
