Verizon/Yahoo Blocking Attempts to Archive Yahoo Groups

Clarification - we're not archive.org. Archive Team and Internet Archive are completely separate.

And we're only archiving things that "any guy on the internet" can see. If someone can access the messages simply by joining a group (with no moderator approval), I'd argue it's fair game.

We're not going to be unreasonable, though. If something private slips through and we receive a takedown request from the author, we typically remove it.

Just wondering, if the author of a post or the administrator of a group makes a takedown request regarding non-private* info, would you delete it?

* and by that I mean something that is not a telephone number, an address, a real life name, and other similar things.

Also, I am looking at https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Mastodon and some jobs there (such as berries.space) give 404 when I try to download the data. Do you have any idea why that could be?

But the data will be going to Archive.org, correct?

Yep. That's where they upload everything.
