Internet takedown evidence
Website seizure banner archive
A searchable, self-hosted visual archive of government website-seizure notices, normalized from seized.fyi with every image and video preserved under an OpenSpy SHA-256 filename.
Scope
Browse preserved seizure banners
Search by operation, domain, upstream hash, year, media type, or linked-reporting availability. Selecting a result opens its internal OpenSpy archive record; the self-hosted original and seized.fyi upstream entry remain linked separately.
Preserved dataset snapshot
This content-addressed JSON maps every upstream banner to its affected domains, observed date, reporting links, resolution, corrected media type, R2 path, byte size, and full SHA-256. The original media objects are stored separately so the catalog stays searchable instead of embedding hundreds of binary files into one page.
Included
- Every banner listed in the seized.fyi machine-readable snapshot.
- Original-resolution seizure images, animated banners, and videos, stored under content-derived SHA-256 filenames.
- Observed date, dimensions, media type, affected-domain list, upstream record, and linked reporting URLs.
- Detection and correction of upstream filename or MIME mismatches without modifying the underlying media bytes.
Not mirrored
- Malware, exploit code, credential dumps, marketplace listings, and content from the seized services.
- Fabricated pre-seizure screenshots or invented operation and agency labels.
- A claim that the upstream domain list is exhaustive; seized.fyi explicitly warns that lists can be incomplete.
Publication rules
- A seizure banner documents the state observed by the upstream archive; it does not independently prove every allegation displayed on the page.
- Domain lists are reproduced as archival metadata and may be incomplete, as stated by seized.fyi.
- OpenSpy does not fabricate a pre-seizure screenshot when no independently replayable public capture has been preserved.
- The mirrored objects are seizure notices and documentary screenshots or videos, not malware, exploit payloads, or seized-site content.
