Hacker News Reader

It is an archive, IA is not just the wayback machine, the project archives websites, books, magazines, sound, video, software applications, and anything else people feel is worth archiving.

The project carries no Morality and that is a good thing. It will always archive content you agree with and content you disagree with and that is a good thing. Adult content is clearly tagged. Copyright is clearly managed.

Genuine question, if we were to sanitize all archives of porn, do you believe that 80 years from now, we would have a representative idea of how people experience sexuality right now?

Been using the Archive for some 10 years now, both browsing the Wayback Machine and archiving sites onto it (and sometimes using the collections too). This is the first time I'm hearing of any porn on the site. Maybe I should check it out one day when I have too much time; would be interesting to see how it has changed over the last century.

lol who cares
