      Depends on whether the site is hosted in a jurisdiction the US has power over or can lean on.

          Yeah, if that’s the case then it’s game over for the archive.

            If it’s Russia owned I don’t see why they can’t host in a more friendly state.

              For sure, but if current data center is in Canada then it could be seized. I’m hoping they at least have a mirror somewhere outside US jurisdiction.

                Me too. And I hope people who can afford VPN or otherwise access news will post for those who don’t.
