> On October 30, 2025, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) subpoenaed Archive.today's domain registrar, Tucows. The subpoena stated its purpose is to identify the owner(s) of the archive.today domain name, and that it was part of a criminal investigation conducted by the FBI, the nature of which was not disclosed.[8]

Surely attempts to block archive.is are more likely to be Kremlin based as that would stop dissemination of journalistic information in favour of more easily manipulated YouTube and Tiktok video.
No.
Is https://news.ycombinator.com a Kremlin asset, for the suppression of information by the mod-supported downvoting of facts people do not like ?

Surely an archive site is fairly neutral. The worst you can argue is bypassing copyright, but also avoiding server overload (‘hugs of death’) which we’ve all seen it frequently used to avoid. Is that naïve? Is there some key info or background that this post completely omits?
