Why isn't the Internet Archive a function of the Library of Congress, anyone know? Seems to me that IA should be very well funded by us all.

Because we don't want it be shutdown because some political figure dislike that it archived something they don't like?

But isn’t the purpose of the Library of Congress to avoid that scenario?
