New Discovery - Digging into the internet, reveal censored literacies

I read the corpse of an article today. The title was Shura Burtin: A Group Portrait in the Dark — Why Do Russians Support This War?, posted in Mandarin. It was first posted on WeChat media platform on 2020-11-10 and deleted five days later. Now preserved on freewechat via greatfire.org.

I first found internet archive a few weeks ago, when I search wang kar wai's fallen angel (1995) with Google. Then I got obssessed with "surfing the internet" using wayback machine, pretending it's the 90s. Not even mentioning it's anti-big data algorythm vibe, It preserves all the deleted, banned, and lost websites for decades. I found newspapers from 1940s, even earlier. I typed freedom in mandarin, and then, it direct me to freewechat, where I found a lot of fascinating articles.
