What is it with people who think everything they don't like should be illegal? Have you never read a history book? Authoritarianism is bad mmkay

But preservation is good.

Not always.

e: To clarify, I’m not saying all preservation is bad but that not all preservation is good. Take for example a website sharing the stories of named child victims or whatever revolts you… some things are best not preserved. If I host a website of stories that are my own creation, I should be able to take that down right? Just seems strange to me, the concept that nothing should fade into obscurity. I may be looking at it wrong.
