Weeding, or culling old, damaged or outdated books, is standard practice in libraries. But in some cases it is being used to remove books because of the viewpoint they express.

Here’s an archive.is link for those who need it.

    archive.is is in a walled-garden of its own. For a while the best way to reach NY times content was on their onion host:

    https://www.nytimesn7cgmftshazwhfgzm37qxb44r64ytbb2dj3x62d2lljsciiyd.onion/

    but now they have enshitified the onion. Normally archive.org is the free world way to reach jailed content. But today archive.org is under attack.

    The next best port of call is normally 12ft.io, but NYT has managed to sabotage them too. At this point the only just, egalitarian and inclusive way to discuss NYT content is to either copy the NY Times text into your post, or don’t share that content at all.
