Any relevant body investigating things is perfectly capable of reaching out to IA for access to their archive of the site.

I am not claiming it isn't. My point is that 99% of people who haven't heard of Kiwi Farms prior won't be able to validate any claims against a primary resource.

It becomes a very questionable "trust us, they were bad" from sources that are demonstrably flawed.

(I am not saying they aren't bad, but from researching common claims like the owner is a pedophile and the Christchurch shooter posted on Kiwi Farms myself, it's clear that quite a few are exaggerated or not true.)
