hacking the internet archive because you're protesting american foreign policy in israel is like petitioning to join the UN at the international house of pancakes. it doesnt make sense and you just end up looking stupid.
its incredibly stupid, internet archive isn't beneficial to usa only. it's incredibly important to archiving and sharing polish media, a lot of older movies not available on any streaming services or even piracy sites, they mostly exist on cds/vhs or on the tv. same with books, photography, tv shows, websites, pc games. losing this would be devastating worldwide :-(
plus the reason the hacker gave doesnt make sense either. it would only work if archive.org is actively censoring information coming out of palestine, but it doesnt. also how much personal info did he think he'd be able to steal? most contributors are trying to remain anonymous. i personally have 4 diff accts with 4 diff purposes.
