Sad news! Yesterday a large number of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website, but they were separate sub-projects, containing only #books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is confusing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages.

Over the 15 years of the project's existence, we've managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can't be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

Moreover, we didn't just collect texts, but created unique tools for working with them, allowing researchers to quickly find the necessary information and study texts on a deeper level.

For example, we have #extracted_text_layers from 100,000,000 files, including OCR recognition, and now anyone can use our #fulltext_search in any language. Or we have converted millions of files for the possibility of #online_reading. Such tasks require 1000 CPU cores over many long months and cost a great deal of money (donated by you, thank you for your support ❤️)

After the mass blocking of our domains last year (https://t.co/tWd9AF1mx3), we specifically separated texts in rare languages into separate sub-projects, so that #researchers wouldn't lose access to this unique material. However, as we can see, this didn't help. We don't understand what relation the USA or FBI has to Bashkir or Tamil books, and why these resources are blocked.

Nevertheless, we think it's important to inform you about what's happening. We want to thank everyone who supports the project in this challenging time. Please don't forget to sign our petition (https://t.co/JgvYuDBOMq) to restore access to #ZLibrary and stop the illegal criminal prosecution.
