Yes, but also... this is a kinda unique variation in that it wasn't already public when they tried to kill it.
... and, I'm not sure who "archivists" might refer to but I suspect that whoever they are may have undertaken significant risk.
The article says it was released online and if you were in Canada you could watch it. Also it doesn't say it here but another news source said the week prior it was advertised through commercials, ads, and online that it would be airing on so and so date and time.
Once I saw who stopped it, I kept thinking back to John Oliver's episode on her a few months ago and thought wow that didnt take long.
If it was posted ~~in Canada~~ anywhere it was posted everywhere. Thus is the nature of the internet.
Sounds like an "international distributor" aired the episode, so it was already public, at least in whatever country it aired in. The only risk they took is perhaps getting their "international distribution" contract cancelled.
If it aired publicly, and nobody involved in the distribution is involved in the "archiving", there may be very little that can be done about it, short of sending the USS Trump to carpetbomb their country.
Valid point, but maybe a little less unique than it seems, at least if you look at the original Barbra Streisand situation. The photo of her house was originally so obscure and hidden that realistically essentially nobody had ever seen it, until she sued the photographer to have it removed. While it was technically "publicly available" before that it was in such an obscure dataset of coastal erosion examples that it had only been downloaded 6 times, which in terms of being "public on the internet", effectively rounds down to zero.
And those 6 times it were said to be her lawyer who viewed them.
I believe the archivists are data hoarders aka pirates.
And so they're outside the USA.
Actually since my comment it's become clear that the show was aired in canada.
When I posted that comment it sounded like the show had been canned but someone on the production team had leaked it.
I don't watch 60 Minutes but I watched this episode.
“Tell Bari Weiss. I want her to know it was me.”
Posted to YouTube a few hours ago, by the office of New Jersey senator Cory Booker:
If you'd like a 🧲:

This is the best advertizing they can get to spread it wide and far.
Seems like a perfect video for Peertube.
That'll ensure nobody sees it.
It will be more than how many people will see it by being just a torrent.
If it's on peertube, you can just send a link to people and it'll stream right on the browser (granted it has enough peers which I'm pretty sure it will).
Nah, nah, someone does.
...surely. Someone does, anybody?
They always need more content. This would be a great addition.
Bari Weiss Killed
damn i gotta stop reading headlines right to left
“Goverment silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story,”…
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Get fucked Bari!
If she gets more people to watch 60 minutes, has she not done her job? 😂
They're not watching 60 minutes. They're watching a story elsewhere that 60 Minutes didn't want to air. So basically 60 Minutes did all the work and gets none of the rewards here. They don't get the ratings they don't get the eyes and they don't get the advertising dollars.
Advertising and ratings are toxic metrics to bind journalism to.
The proper way to proceed is to build systems and infrastructure that replace these vacuous incentives.
But that's what pays for the content in our current system. Publicly funded journalism is my preference but the problem is some governments bend those to their will and we don't get true reporting. I agree with you that advertisers metrics are bullshit and we should do better but I just don't see where we can go.
Bwahaha. Love it. More of this!
Make it famous!
Where can I find it? They put so much effort into hiding it. Gotta watch it
