Update: After publication, a representative from Internet Archive informed us that they are not aware of any disruption to their services at this time.

The Open Library domain (openlibrary.org) doesn’t appear on the master blacklist of FOD Economie either, while several domains of the other four ‘target sites’ are included. We have reached out to the responsible authority in Belgium to get clarification on this discrepancy and will update the article if we hear back.

The worse part is at what levels the execution is happening everywhere. As these will only be the first platforms to be affected.
