I find it assuming that the might of the American government -- in trying to take a bunch of data offline -- is being resisted by a digital "militia" of hobbyist archivers and non profits.

Theres something that about this that just rings second amendment. Personally I think the concept of civilians having weapons to be a check on a nation state is absurd, but in this case it feels pretty empowering.

Well I wouldn't really call it the "American Government" per say... Its a Geriatric former reality TV show host elected to the presidency by offering to do for America what he did for steak or private education. That guy and his cronies really aren't the American Government. They were just elected to be in charge of the American Government.
