So, if Twitter goes to hell and just becomes defunct, we’re going to lose entire chapters of recent history — including evidence of war crimes, human rights violations, and more. I hope we’re all paying attention to this and considering what we need to do to ensure that a billionaire can’t decide which parts of history to retain — and which parts to erase forever.
@rvawonk We need to start thinking about digital preservation infrastructure as a first-order part of civil society resilience measures. I like the work of groups like Mnemonic, as an example.
@vortex_egg @rvawonk yes. This is so important going forward.
