Well, we could just turn the entire internet off, then the messages would surely be hidden.

Archive.is has a lot more than one page.

You joke, but I'm convinced our police and government know even less about technology than in Australia where they tried to ban encryption.
Well that would be silly.
the point is, you have to draw a line somewhere, and if the line is "nobody can see anything this guy wrote" then the collateral damage is going to be perhaps just too much.

When I said Archive.is has more than one page, I meant we're blocking millions of non-offending pages for the sake of blocking one that offends.

So, how far will we go? Block Archive.is? Block Facebook? The whole internet?

This level of heavy handedness was unprecedented in the west, and is more characteristic of China than anything else.
