What is your policy on objectionable content? For example website that contains hate speech, racism, calls for violence, conspiracy theories, etc. All objectionable, but still worthy of saving to study (for example research to counter hate speech), or just for the sake of it? I've read scientific studies that cite such content, but when you click the link it's been deleted. Or, comments posted online are interesting, but where they are posted is objectionable: on adult video/piracy sites?

Generally, OK.
It does not imply that we support hate speech, fake news and similar stuff, as the archived content can be used in various ways: not only to express radical views, but also to study, to cite, or even to make police investigations against those speakers.
By requests from the authorities we hide only ISIS-propaganda (only for visitors from the countries where ISIS is forbidden) and some classical texts (by Mussolini, etc) which are still forbidden in some countries.
Deletion requests from Fa- or Antifa- groups are ignored.
