I want to clarify something. What I said does not purely revolve around
inevitable misuse of the data. It is also based on freedom of the user.
The only way you could prevent the user from doing something on his own
machine ounce the data has been copied over the net is with some kind
of rookit and spyware under the umbrella term Digital Restrictions
Management. I Hope we can all agree that DRM is heinous and a key point
in the downfall of the web. https://www.defectivebydesign.org/

The most you could do is ask someone not to unlist their
archive for some TTL period. I feel this would be a good compromise
between archivist and authors. Archivists are going to archive because
without an immutable content addressable storage back-end like IPFS or
the LoC ARC Resolver everything is fickle and could disappear at any
moment, lost to entropy.
