[liberationtech] archives public

[Yosem Companys]

Yes, as we say in the list guidelines, our policy as an institution is
to keep the archives private.

Unfortunately, because any list member can see the archives, we have
little or no recourse available to stop someone from copying and
making them public (unless we simply closed off the archives to all
members).

If you'd like, we can edit the list guidelines to note that someone
has made the archive public.  Aside from that, I'm not sure what else
we could do.

Best,

Yosem
