    I doubt it. I’d sooner think it’s a corporation or state actor.

      How does taking the website down for a few hours help those people? Especially a state actor? If it was the US government or someone like them wouldn’t they do something more permanent? Actually wipe the website?

        Some news source released something that got redacted based on government pressure. Archive made a snapshot of the news source. Now the state actor goes after the Archive to prevent time sensitive information from spreading. They benefit from the information not being widely available immediately.

            How would I know? The news source retracted their statement and archive.org is down

              Up for me. It was down a few hours tops. And I remember checking it around the time you made that post as well?

          What does knocking the website offline for a few hours do for their war?

                I offered a plausible explanation never did I suggest it was THE reason. Near zero chance we will ever know

                  I just don’t see how its plausible Israel wanted a website to go down for 2 hours to help them bomb Palestine
