A DDOS against the Internet Archive has commenced again, timed for maximum pain for the California staff to deal with. (I don't sleep, but I also can't do anything on the infrastructure here.)
So, we're down until people wake up to deal with the constant DOOS against us because... reasons
@textfiles Probably by people who don't want others to see their old content. Archives and keeping track of history is so incredibly important. I hope you have a great backup system, and I hope finding ways to protect against these attacks gets the attention it needs. I'm especially fond of Wayback -- a site that can be especially useful to #journalists looking for suddenly deleted webpages, etc.. #journalism

The news organisations contest many of the alleged facts as well as the inferences on which the claimants are resting their cases. It will fall to the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to check the reality of the new evidence, to decide whether any of it is strong enough to warrant opening an investigation and, if so, whether it would be right to bring any charges against any of those alleged to be involved in unlawful behaviour.
What follows is the story of the evidence that is waiting to be examined, in addition to what was already known 10 years ago. Ultimately, it is a tale not only about the behaviour of the press, but also about the behaviour of power."
