    Then it still makes no sense, as you being unable to take down the content means you also very likely can’t edit the content. I can’t think of a situation where you:

    1. Need content to not be scraped
    2. Need time to remove/edit that content
    3. Have access to do the above
    4. Don’t have access to pull the content immediately
    5. Have control of a large enough botnet to take down Internet Archive
    6. Don’t have a big enough botnet to take down the aforementioned content

      Well that’s my point… It doesn’t make sense because you can just go after the fact and make the request to take it all down.

      You have to be stupidly paranoid and obscenely stupid to believe that a DDOS is the correct answer if this is the case.

      On an individual level, having a massive archive of everything you’ve ever posted isn’t always a good thing, especially when mentally ill people will quote mine a single post and then try to misuse it.
