Both are crude social and tech attempts at (optionally) anonymous write-once global filesystem into which anyone can toss anything, irrevocably. (Other net archives from fas.org to archive.org to google.com are less resistant to well funded legal and technical attacks. While many folks discover "once its out there, it's there forever" this would not be the case given the means of some entities.)
Libraries burn, particularly if the local state du jour is unhappy with them.
Leaks happen, caveat reader, as always, and especially now, when everyone has a printing press.
