@MiaMarkTwo@syzito.xyz @markwyner@mas.to Not quite sure what was being referenced? It might be archive’s frankly criminal (morally at least) use of tags and tracking - I gave up using them a wee while back.

@Wen@mastodon.scot The articles I linked to talk about it. In short, this person was injecting malicious code into captcha requests. The result was that every person using one of the links would be contributing to a DDoS attack. Even if they have a justified grievance against the person they were attacking, it’s unethical to force all visitors to be catalysts. And, as mentioned, there have been reports of archived content being edited. I can’t verify this, but I did read about it a short while back. While I don’t recall the details, it was enough to make me uncomfortable. @MiaMarkTwo@syzito.xyz
