The Islamic State posted their content for many years on the Internet Archive. I believe IA did take down content in some cases.

Modern day jihadist groups are now utilizing Telegram, Whatsapp, and TikTok to preserve and spread material. It’s quite easy to gain access to them — i’ve heard — as many researchers are gaining access to these messages to preserve said materials. Plus these apps give them an ability to easily communicate transcontinentally.

Here's the thing, we're never likely to find a place that allows everything. I think most people understand that.
But to find a provider of public access to archives more expansive than YouTube's, well, that's improvement.

With IA, I feel that they probably de-listed the content but are hosting it for a time when it may be safer to reveal it as part of a greater historical record.
