Well that is a very silly way to punish the author of an article you don’t want people to know about.

"It’s a testament to their persistence that they’re managed to keep this up for over 10 years, and I for one will be buying Denis/Masha/whoever a well deserved cup of coffee."

And one where the author's cool with whoever is running archive.today.

    I don't think it really matters how "cool" you are with someone while actively trying to doxx them.

    • Revealing publicly available information (actually publicly available, in the sense of "any person can easily look this up", not "publicly available" in a sense of "publicly available in leaked databases", which actual doxxers use as an excuse for their actions) isn't doxxing.

I never would have read the article had archive.today not gone into a CAPTCHA loop on me and then I see in developer tools it's pinging this other site. Talk about Streisand effect.

  • I think Streisand effect is the goal. Look at the username of TFA poster and the name of the person the article author suspects.
