When the internet archive censors a website is it deleted permanently or just not publicly available?

I don't think they censor anything, strictly archiving. Do you know of any instance in which they censored a site?

For one. I'm just curious what their policy is.

I only know what I just read on wikipedia about her, but it seems like she has been heavily doxxed — I'm guessing she requested this information about herself be excluded? If so, I'm not sure I'd classify that as censorship.

It's her own tweets, not dox.

The law trumps their policy, to be blunt. They can't afford legal disputes so complying is the best thing they can do. They're still involved in legal shit for "giving away" ebooks too easily during the pandemic.

Not dox but I was thinking there could be old materials in there that people were using to dox her. Idk, why else would they remove it?
