And just like that, archive.today lost all of it's legitimacy.

The stupid threats were bad, but now they are messing with the accuracy of the data collected, calling in question their entire archive.

The Wikipedia guidance points out that the Internet Archive and its website, Archive.org, are “uninvolved with and entirely separate from archive.today.” The Internet Archive is a nonprofit based in the US.

Fuck, I got scared for a second. Glad it's entirely separate.

In emails sent to Patokallio after the DDoS began, “Nora” from Archive.today threatened to create a public association between Patokallio’s name and AI porn and to create a gay dating app with Patokallio’s name. These threats were discussed by Wikipedia editors in their deliberations over whether to blacklist Archive.today, and then editors noticed that Patokallio’s name had been inserted into some Archive.today captures of webpages.

Ok, yes go fuck yourself archive,today
