Verizon/Yahoo Blocking Attempts to Archive Yahoo Groups

Re:Verizon/Yahoo Blocking Attempts to Archive Yahoo Groups –... by dredmorbius on Monday December 09, 2019 @05:51AM (#21741673)

A suggestion I'd made during the G+ shutdown, and active interference (see: https://old.reddit.com/r/plexodus/comments/b87hpi/googles_at...), was that legal methods be employed.

An injunction filed on behalf of Yahoo Groups users to maintain access, delay deletion, and facilitate archival, specifically.

Is anyone working on this?

Not that I know of. Lawyers (hopefully not guns) and money would be needed. Suggestions?

I've had some preliminary discussions with EFF.

There's a listing of online privacy and rights foundations I've compiled here:

Many are mostly dead. Which may mean partly alive.

(That Wiki in general might best be merged with AT's efforts. I'm the principle editor.)

I've passed on your idea. What did EFF have to say? Anything hopeful?

Basically, to write up and explain the idea, and it'll get passed on to the right people.

(At least one of whom is frequently seen on HN.)
