All of which are heavily based on open source software, donations, and in the case of wikipedia, user generated and moderated content.
The solution is not centralization. It’s decentralization. A decentralized internet archive could not be held accountable, or taken down, by any individual government. One architected with zero knowledge encryption as the backbone (e.g. IPFS + I2P) could even operate within the jurisdiction of hostile governments.
Look at Proton, Wikipedia, or the Internet Archive.

Finally, someone with some sense.
Decentralization is one way, the most accessible by far. Proton is an example of another way. Yet another is to never scale.
