For instance, Toby Young had some juicy old tweets that contributed to getting him fired (aside from his observation role at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/London_Conference_on_Intelligence\">the London Conference on Intelligence<\/a>!). These can be seen on the two most well known archive pages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Internet Archive&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/*\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/toadmeister\/*\">Wayback machine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9032\" src=\"https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/IA-toby-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/IA-toby-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/IA-toby-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/IA-toby-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/emilkirkegaard.dk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/IA-toby.png 1413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Because one uses another domain when using the archive pages, it does not immediately trigger Facebook&#8217;s censor filter (or other tech giants), and thus one can use this feature to bypass the censorship. However, Facebook has manually implemented a filter for this site, so it doesn&#8217;t work. We can illustrate that using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amren.com\/features\/2020\/09\/gregory-christainsen-economics-race-intelligence\/\">this American Renaissance link<\/a> that a friend sent me.
