>Good! It's literally the Internet Archive and you published it on the internet. That was your choice.

>As a general rule, people shouldn't get to remove things from the historical record.

>Sometimes we make exceptions for things that were unlawful to publish in the first place -- e.g. defamation, national secrets, certain types of obscene photos -- where there's a larger harm otherwise.

>But if you make someone public, you make it public. I'm sorry you seem to at least partially regret that decision, but as a general rule, it's bad for humanity to allow people to erase things from what are now historical records we want to preserve.

But it's my content - it's not your content. I don't regret my decision, anything I really don't want public is behind a login. The website is still there, still getting crawled.

What really upsets me the MOST though is IA won't even reply to my requests to tell me "We're not going to remove it" - your reply (I am assuming from your wording you have some relationship with them, apologies if that's not the case) is the only information I've got! (Thanks)

[Note reply was from user crazygringo but I can't find it now, almost like they... removed it? It was public though and I'm SURE they won't mind me archiving it here for them.]

So... you believe that your and IA's behavior is or is not okay? Because it's a touch odd to start playing the other side now.
