Protecting the identity of members make sense. If that org is fighting bad actors engaged in CSAM and child abuse, they'd want to shield themselves from harrasment and retaliation.

What's most shady is the tactic, asking third party to block archive.is when they apparently didn't ask achive.is themselves to remove the content.
