What is the purpose of the DDoS JS in the archive website then? Not DDoS?

I'm sure it's DDoS, just like the purpose of gyrovague.com is to attack archive.today

Attack? Did we read the same one article? One article is clearly defensive. The other is a piece of investigative journalism about who and how the site is run.

Neither of those is an attack.

Of course attempting to dox someone is an attack.
