> Ars trying to avoid piling more attention on the name of a person that isn't actually involved.

Oh, yes, by removing the name in the context of "Streisand Effect".

> petty revenge

How does it "revenge"? Was it a porn page? Or something bad?

It is likely to be just a funny placeholder name of the same length to come in mind.

We could find good and bad motives for both AT and Ars.

The bias against AT was here apriori. Paywall-story for CondeNast, russophobia for the rest.

Well, that's the only name they removed, even though it didn't stand out among the other names in the investigation. Secondly, it's ironic to do so in an article tagged "Streisand Effect" so perhaps we're witnessing part of the performance. And thirdly, it's strange to blame AT for removing... the same name, and not blame Ars. Immediately accusing... AT of double standards and hypocrisy.

I am lost here. It is definitively an organized defamation campaign.

Silently. Last article. Not today's.

One with title 'Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site'

I'll try to add the link with comment edit:

1. I can't post links (I've already tried), my comments with links are getting shadowbanned. Check out Jon Brodkin's article on Ars about AT, not today's, but the previous one, 6 days ago. Nora's name was there, but now it's silently gone.

2. We learned about Nora's involvement from Patokallio. We learned about Nora's non-involvement... also from Patokallio. They could have reached a settlement with AT that includes hiding Nora's name.

3. Regardless of who Nora is, it is interesting to see the extent of this censorship: so far only gyrovague.com and arstechnica.com, but not tomshardware.com and not tech.yahoo.com. This shows which sites are working closely with the AT defamation campaign, and which are simply copywriting the news feed.
