Remember what Jen Psaki said about banning people across all platforms?
That's where it's going.
They'll start sharing and compiling profiles across all the big sites -- yes, Internet Archive, too -- to expunge those with incorrect opinions from the public square.
You already need to have an account to view a lot of material (borrow-only) and they freely remove content, so I believe the Internet Archive is already on board.
And if she's saying it on the record, then you know they've already initiated proceedings privately.
Actually, I had to look up who she is. I don't pay much attention to all the
bad actors names. But I can imagine what she said. The reason I learned to archive in the first place is because I don't have accounts, and was unable to view a lot of content. Taking away views and shekels from the sites, is just an added bonus. If they take away the Internet, I'm going to cover this country's telephone poles and bulletin boards with paper. LOTS and lots of paper.
