How worrying is this for people not living in the US

Depends on whether the site is hosted in a jurisdiction the US has power over or can lean on. They could also seize the domain which would break existing links.

I belive they said it is hosted in Canada... sooooooooooooooooo

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, if that's the case then it's game over for the archive.

If it's Russia owned I don't see why they can't host in a more friendly state.

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

For sure, but if current data center is in Canada then it could be seized. I'm hoping they at least have a mirror somewhere outside US jurisdiction.

Me too. And I hope people who can afford VPN or otherwise access news will post for those who don't.
