RE: Unraveling the Mystery of Disappearing Content

in Rant, Complain, Talk3 months ago

I’m glad that you noticed the disappearing of content - there is an effort underway to actively remove things from the internet. It’s pretty insidious because it’s a bit like the book burning of a hundred years ago where they are removing information so that people can only access the information they choose.

Yes. I hadn’t appreciated the significance an archivist makes. In fact, I still might not. I can picture how the cost of ownership especially for digital and physical goods will continue to inflate over time, as businesses look to control even our media and attention. What we can do is continue to save things, record things and detail history via personal witness.
