The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, it provides free access to researchers, historians, scholars, the print disabled, and the general public.
This is a perfect place If you are looking for old stuff. There are programs, games, books, audio, images, scans, websites - just about anything.
It is a wonderful non-profit platform allowing people to upload and download old files. They even maintain torrent servers, so you can download files faster.
It's doing a great service to humanity by preserving its abandoned and forgotten works.

Pretty recently known for censorship.

It contains a lot of rare data that otherwise could've been lost due to dead links, website changes etc. However, it's a known censor of 'disinformation' - which is nothing but a slanderous label put on anything that goes against the interests of the 1%. The annoying 'borrowing' policy on some rare books is ridiculous and artificially imposed too, likely for the same reasons. It's a deliberate attempt to restrict free access to certain materials for no good reason.

I’ve used it and I like some features of it, but the censorship is a bit much. They block Kiwifarms for example but they allow other sites with more explicit content.

I'd say it's a great archive site with nice coverage; mostly older things but with a diverse collection.
Pretty impressive for sites like this to exist almost 30 years with its notability and legal battles.

In 2020, they were sued for no good reason. Support them.
