This is so funny.

An article about internet censorship of an archive site that requires an archive site to read!

That’s Brilliant! :D

I find it far more ironic that they are called Reclaim the Internet.

I am dating myself, but I remember the Internet. It’s rather ironic too that the actual Internet, literal and figuratively free internet, was always doomed from the start, just like AI is effectively doomed in terms of it being some kind of productivity tool or amazing thing you can use to build your own thing, because the logical conclusion is very bad for most people, including the technorati types here that think themselves above it and immune.

If you’re shocked and surprised by the way there Internet was maneuvered into the surveillance prison Flock made itself the poster child of at the hands of Mr Langley, take that trajectory and lay it over AI, but only at exponential rates. You don’t have to believe me, it won’t matter either way, it’s happening, short of the Soviet style implosion of the “American” empire.

Maybe once the planet has been made uninhabitable to biological life there will be an AI robot cybernetic splinter group trying to “reclaim humanity”.

It would be extra ironic if portions of the article itself had ambiguous authorship.

("No court ruling was required; only a complaint, a commission, and a censorship protocol built for speed.")

Works fine for me, also Spain, Vodafone as the ISP.

Edit: eeh, that's a different site than the one mentioned by the submission, why it wouldn't work?

Modern Spain is having patchy record with digital age. Earlier:

1. Blocked Telegram with a court order, reinstituted after public backslash

2. Blocks Internet and Cloudflare during La Liga matches

3. Prime minister Pedro Sanchez from Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) has demanded the end of anonymity in Internet

They say it is to protect the kids, but likely it is to find out who watches La Liga without a premium subscription.

Does archive.is have problems? I tried this article with it and it didn't work:

Error: Invalid InterceptionId.

Since a few months archive.is is "unstable" from Spain. I thought the reason is the ISP but sometimes by just reloading it works... Can anybody shed some light?

I'd built something which can allow people to archive archive.is pages on archive.org.

This could perhaps be used for this purpose.

I have submitted it on hackernews once again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49773417

Did they find a La Liga game on it or something?

La liga isn't even necessary, in similar vain another site blockin

"Yout then filed an official appeal at Spain’s Supreme Court. Among other things, the site objected to the fact that it wasn’t in any way involved in the blocking lawsuit.

The Supreme Court denied hearing this appeal because Yout.com is not a party to the legal procedure. That was, ironically, one of the main reasons why the appeal was filed in the first place."
