They will take down the archive sites sooner or later, pretty soon in my flair. They've been quite cautious so far, only taking down a subreddit or two, messing with a chan board or three. I assume they're correctly assessing that censorship attempts will only enrage this citizens enquiry further, spreading/credibilizing it to normies.
But dont delude yourselves. You're striking at the root of evil in this world, they would take down the whole internet if it came to it.
Don't assume archive sites are safe. Nothing is. (But the kingdom within, a christian might say).
^^^ THIS ! Too many people are depending on shit like archive.is which can go down and probably WILL - backup (redundantly) and encrypt it. Best practices include archiving data into a compressed zip or rar file - password protected - of encrypted contents. Works great with multiple rar portions like r00 r01 files, etc. that you can spread across multiple devices if necessary.
One minor quibble: Archive.is doesn't mess with ajax at all (see: recent imgur arcs having no comments)
If the site you're arcing has it, make a personal shot at some place like megalodon.jp or freezepage
Freezepage won't let you link elsewhere but that also means no one else can tamper with it without knowing it.
Or just straight up Save As... >Full HTML and then pass it around in a .rar of some kind. There's some browser extensions out there that let you dunk a full site (at least the open parts), most would come out around 100MB I reckon if they're personal/corporate and been around a long time.
@graboid0 To expand on this, once you archive the page @ archive.is, be sure to download the zip file it creates. See the top of the page for the "download .zip" link.

Can't hurt to do it. What is the best way to save an entire page with links?
I mean, I suppose periodically backing up all of our combined data isn't too stupid

For sure. No archive is safe. I hope no one is daft enough to rely on websites remaining operational and not being tampered with.

OP and others are meaning "back up to non-online sources". Archive could go kaput in an instant for all we know.

Keep in mind you can d/l a .zip file after using the archive.is feature also
