Gregory's Server@cwebber For me that pro-palestinian group sounded somewhat fishy because IA is not involved in this conflict.
But I think I have explanation for that - they simply wanted to get attention for whatever they are trying to do and IA is good for that because it's really big site which almost everyone involved in cybersecurity and stuff uses.

@freakazoid @cwebber They posted some explanation on their Twitter account, but I cannot find it anymore and it was not clear as everything they have written.  @severak This reads like someone suffering from mental health problems to me, especially their nonsense about The Internet Archive. It is the kind of inappropriate pattern matching I've observed with schizophrenia and the damage caused by using meth. In particular, I think this person has pattern-matched The Internet Archive with Total Information Awareness, possibly without realizing it consciously. @severak Oh, apparently there actually IS a very close connection between IA and Amazon Alexa, in that IA essentially split off from Alexa Internet after Amazon acquired the latter and took it in a completely different direction. Doesn't seem like a reason to think IA is somehow involved in surveillance, though. |
@severak @cwebber If it were a pro-Palestinian group, the pop-up would have said something about Palestine. But it didn't.
