The Internet Archive can and does "dark" content; it is not served, but is preserved on disk for the future.



It should be requestable by snail mail and token payment or with a similar amount of friction.


More realistically, content considered in peril should be replicated on nodes outside of the Archive's control. Fun fact: Every item in the Archive can be retrieved via a torrent. I leave it as an exercise to the reader on how to retrieve the Archive's item index, ascertain least replicated items, and how to retrieve and serve them.


Don't forget about https://dweb.me/


Really excited to see what comes out of the upcoming Dweb retreat the Archive is sponsoring.


I did not know what. You sir, have made my day.
