Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site

Wikipedia editors are debating whether to blacklist Archive.today, a site that was used to execute a DDoS attack against a blogger who attempted to uncover the site's anonymous founder's identity. The discussion includes three options: removing all Archive.today links, discouraging future link additions, or maintaining the status quo. Archive.today, a website that saves snapshots of webpages, is considered more reliable than the Internet Archive but has raised concerns about botnets, linkspamming, and its operation. The decision to blacklist the site in 2013 was overturned in 2016, but recent events have reignited the debate.
