"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Wayback Machine’s 485 billion Web Pages Blocked by Russian Government Order
"The Internet Archive—including its Wayback Machine, which currently stores 485 billion snapshots of the world's web pages at different dates—is inaccessible for some users in Russia, as a post on the Global Voices site explains. This is the result of a blocking order from the country's Attorney General, under legislation originally designed to protect minors from pornography sites, sexual abuse sites, and sites that provide details about drug use and suicide, but later extended to cover sites advocating 'extremist activities' too."
