As a counterpoint, sure shut down your copy of it if you feel sufficiently threatened... But give away the 'fully baked' software ready to host, and somebody in a completely different jurisdiction could stand up a new copy of it.

Good luck to newspaper owners suing somebody who lives in a small town in Balochistan who finds a way to buy a .IS domain name with cryptocurrency and pay for KVM VM hosting in Moldova. Or somebody similar who has the financial resources to go host the thing in the same physical location/ISP where archive.is has server resources.

When distributing free software that people don't like getting out there, consider doing it anonymously.

Ask Bill and Keonne, the developers of Samourai Wallet, about why that is. You can write to them in prison.
