Looks like it was removed around Nov 2024, ie around the time it became clear American politics was turning tides and Trump would get elected. Regardless of political position, I have no respect for people or companies that have no principled position and pander to $CURRENT_POLITICS.

I don't think it's a matter of lack of principles or pander to $CURRENT_POLITICS.

This article is simply about justifying political repression. Then the repression proved ineffective, the article became needless, and since justifying political repression is a rather toxic activity, the article was removed.

It wasn't removed, just moved: https://blog.mozilla.org/blogarchive/blog/2021/01/08/we-need...

Still true that cool URLs shouldn't change, of course.

Thanks, what does “archived” mean though?

No idea, my guess would be some software migration where it was too much work to copy the old posts over, but I'm not familiar with what happened.
