Well, this got on the front page of HN... Such things make even FAANG behemoths pay attention. What I mean is, who knows what happened since r/Seattle called it out.

Does some other archive, archive the archiver?

There might be a cryptographic solution for this problem, but that's far beyond my knowledge set.

Also, as the peer comment pointed out, it could be geo-scoped. You know, like a targeted attack.

The entire reason that I posted this originally is that I cannot think of a juicier userbase than HN. We all post archive.is links every single time. Given that operator's history, we are doing the link-click analogy of pasting shell commands from the web into our terminals. We should know better by now, but complacency leads to ___.
