Archive sites are likely to get the blacklist soon. They will be smeared as manipulating the content they archive and will vanish in a flash.

I hope not. Archive.org is one of the few internet organizations who still have my support.

Their biggest problem is probably copyright; especially of companies which didn't object having their content archived, but then went bankrupt, and got bought by lawyers.

They will be blacklisted. It's only a question of when. Do you think that politicians like having embarassing content forever cataloged and viewed by the public? They will find a way to memory hole archive sites either through the legal system or coersion with tech and banking. 'Oops your company just popped upon the MATCH list with #10, we are closing your bank account.' That happened to gab, happened to Dick who tried to run a patreon without censorship, it will happen to the archive site owners
