Hi!
During the last days, it has become apparent that several websites criticising the "Church of Scientology" have been removed

I have been in contact with some of the owners of the sites concerned - and *none* of them have demanded that their sites be blocked.
Looking at this site, I found that in order to remove a page from the archive, an email to the administration is sufficient - without any identification/verification of the requesting party.
So what's next - will the Chinese communist party ask for the deletion of pages about their Tibet policy?
As a linguist and professional user of text archives, I would sincerely ask you to review this removal policy. It would be very useful to check removal requests or at least to make public when and by whom such measures have been requested.
Best wishes
Anja Hofmann

Indeed, it seems that scientology or scientologist(s) has removed my different websites from archives. My estimation is that such a manoeuver from scientology is illegal.

All my sites since the first should be again online, and in no case, they should be erased unless I ask them to be removed.
My sites that should still be online at archive/wayback:

www.hol.fr/~gonnet
www.worldnet.fr/gonnet
www.antisectes.net
