That is going to be difficult considering many of these sites have partially private content and likely also have some users which post copyrighted content and content violating other laws.

Not to mention that it is not trivial to turn a dynamic site into a static one and that companies who go bankrupt do not tend to have funds left to fund decade long endeavours.

Private content can stay hidden forever, since it's private after all. I'm more concerned with published content disappearing.

Yeah. That's why it should be done as an insurance model where a third party would assume the burden of maintaining the archive.

And it's unclear how moderation or legal takedowns should be handled.
