Some of the Arweave community are working on building various archiving tools to store vulnerable and censored information on Corona. Check out Weibo Uncensored and Corona Archives: https://weibo-uncensored.github.io/

Yeah, it's similar but Archive.org relies on servers to store information, whereas Arweave is a decentralised peer-to-peer network that offers permanent data storage. Arweave are in talks with them and are working with the IA to timestamp all of their collections.

Re:OnionShare makes it easy to publish anonymous, uncensorable websites

Definitely. OnionShare requires your own computer to be connected to the interwebs - the data is only accessible while your OnionShare app is running. With Arweave the hosting is taken care of (the data/website/etc is hosted on the Weave). Plus, OnionShare sites are not verifiable/ reliable as they are a website running on someone's computer. An Arweave site is timestamped and unforgeable; it's also resilient (replicated on many nodes) and permanently stored.
