French internet cops have demanded that the Internet Archive remove more than 550 instances of "terrorist propaganda" from its site.

There's only one problem: the illegal and offensive content they have identified includes live recordings of the Grateful Dead, archives of TV news shows and pages from Project Gutenberg – which archives plain text versions of books as horrifying as The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland.
