archive.today has been targeted by Western institutions, like the FBI, for over a year now. Which signals to me they are the good guys.

All that tells us is that the site is probably not run by the FBI. It could still be run by the CIA, Russian intelligence, or some lone morally neutral guy from Prague

If it was run by the CIA or russian intelligence, they wouldn't have burned their asset with petty grudges.

Have you seen this current administration?

You realize the CIA is nonpartisan, right?

I genuinely cannot tell if this was meant to be humorous.

Come on. It's not WikiLeaks. If they were targeted by FBI it would be down.

What do you mean, I didnt make it up... Its detailed on the archive.today wikipedia page.

The media barrons in the west have bribed the US government to pursue archive criminally on their behalf for helping people bypass paywalls.

That's great, how does that absolve the archive.today maintainer's bad faith activities, including creating a country-wall?

Because if he's being targeted by the feds, he obviously he doesn't want his private information being published by some guy who self-admittedly did it on a whim?

Is this really that hard to understand?

Umm, every USA company blocks North Korea, Iran and often Cuba.

One guy blocking a single country is not at all problematic.
