@cwebber @ricmac Wait, seriously? You’re promulgating a theory that a BOOK PUBLISHER hired a hacking group to attack Internet Archive? That is genuinely nutty. I think you should both know better.
1. They wouldn’t know how.
2. The attack was certain to create a wave of sympathy and support for the victim (and rightly so).
3. Publishers did have a narrow grievance with one of the least important IA programs. But they solved that via the legal system.
@gleick @cwebber Well, I have no idea who this nutcase group on X is, I just thought Christine's theory was interesting and worth Re-tooting. I do agree that the Palestine stance this group is spouting seems off, and so the real reason they're hacking IA is probably not that.
