Dawn is an email addressed to featheredleader, 'The archive team that uploaded data to the Internet archive has been blocked, and the activity done by hundreds of volunteers over the past few months has become a water bubble.' Banned all email addresses used by volunteer archive teams to download data, Verizon disabled the semi-automated script of the archive team, so the work needed to be done individually and the task continued 'In addition, Yahoo prevents users and owners from using third-party tools to access their messages, photos, and files.' Verizon Bro Over it lose 80% of the data because of the click 'and we reflect their current situation.

In response to this, featheredleader contacted Verizon, and Verizon responded that '128 actions on Archiveteam.org could not be approved because they violated the terms of service.' Although Verizon's terms allow individuals to download content that they have uploaded, other members of the group are not allowed to download content that has been uploaded. For this reason, archivists have been blocked for violating the terms of service.

Featheredleader said the plan “deleted 58 days after being notified” is too short for the group to save the archive, and 128 banned accounts are allowed to be downloaded by the group owner And asks Verizon not to apply the Terms of Service to 128 people. In addition, featheredleader spelled the above situation on the blog on December 8, but there seems to be no change in the situation at the time of article creation.
