    The thing is sometimed articles must be removed from IA (copyright (I disagree with that one) or when information is leaked that could threaten lives), with a blockchain this would be impossible

      Perfect.

      I’d be interested in seeing real examples where lives are threatened. I find it unlikely that the internet archive would be the exclusive arbiter of so-called deadly information

        There was an actual example where a journalistic article about afghanistan accidentally leaked names of some sources and people who helped westerners in afghanistan, which did actually endanger those people’s lives.

          If they’re leaked, they’re leaked. The archive doesn’t change that one way or the other

            Gotcha so you actually stated your previous question in bad faith as you had no interest in the answer to begin with.
