Found my old zine got deleted from a university archive last month

Back in 2019 I wrote a little zine about housing rights in Portland. I had put it in a local university's digital collection. Last month I tried to find it for a friend and it was just gone. No notice, no reason given. I emailed the librarian and they said it didn't meet their 'current content standards.' Has anyone else had old work quietly removed from archives like that?

Man, that's just censorship with extra steps.

Is it just me or does this kind of thing happen everywhere now, like with social media algorithms deciding what you can and can't see? Feels like people are just renaming stuff to make it sound like a good thing.
