      People like to act as if archiving has never been a thing until about a year ago at which point it was suddenly invented and is now a threat in some nebulous way.

        If a foreign Dictatorship’s military op wants to know every facet of your life, then you can be damn sure it’s a threat.

        It’s not that it’s a threat, it’s that there’s a difference between archiving for preservation and crawling other people’s content for the purpose of making money off it (in a way that does not benefit the content creator).
