    There was an actual example where a journalistic article about afghanistan accidentally leaked names of some sources and people who helped westerners in afghanistan, which did actually endanger those people’s lives.

      If they’re leaked, they’re leaked. The archive doesn’t change that one way or the other

        Gotcha so you actually stated your previous question in bad faith as you had no interest in the answer to begin with.

          No. The archive of it isn’t doing the dangerous part. The info was already out there and the bad actor who would do something malicious would get that info from the same place the archive did. I need you to show how the archival of information that was already released leads to a dangerous situation that didn’t already exist.
