Someone decided to remove all references to themselves on the network. What to do?

    A couple of years ago I announced my service for saving Peeep.us web pages (like web.archive.org or google cache, only on request). The functionality of the service even then caused a discussion of the ethics and legality of storing data that was deleted by the source. One way or another, Peeep lasted safely for two years, and I honestly stopped paying attention to it. Unless Google paid at 7 cents a week for data storage. And sometimes he deleted pages with child porn, glaring about themselves in statistics.

    However, recently, representatives of a certain Mikhail Dvornikov wrote to me with a request to delete the preserved ancient article of the newspaper “Newspaper”and promised to sue. The article looks quite harmless. They write that such and such is running for the election, that a criminal case has been instituted against him, that checks are underway - in short, I did not find any extremism, porn or other direct violations of the law and ignored the letter.

    What was my surprise when these respected gentlemen called me on my mobile. According to them, they are quite serious about destroying all references to Mr. Dvornikov and his company EAA Asset Management-Consulting GmbH on the Internet . The seriousness of these people made me wonder if I would have to fixerun away from some on my own jeep.

    So, dear habra-jury-habraseniators, how much do you think the web archive is responsible for the information that is stored there? And how realistic is it to hold me accountable for defamation or to make me compensate for the damage to my business reputation? Under the cut will be links on the topic of history.Is it possible to hold a library or archive accountable for the storage and distribution of newspaper numbers where slander is printed (even proven and recognized)? Is it possible to consider a web archive, search cache etc as some library?
