Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today

The FBI is investigating Archive.is (Archive.today) over a federal criminal investigation, possibly related to copyright or CSAM dissemination. Pressure has been mounting on the site and its intermediaries, with AdGuard DNS being targeted to block the domain. A French organization, Web Abuse Association Defense, demanded action against Archive.today for allegedly hosting illegal content, but further investigation revealed suspicious behavior, including potential impersonation and false reports. The situation has prompted plans to file an official complaint with French police and raises concerns about criminal behavior that needs further investigation.
