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 Someone already thought about this years ago:

@jrg @rvawonk this doesn’t archive all of twitter all the time. There’s another site that was designed to preserve real tweets but forget where that was.
@thomasjwebb @rvawonk I can see that. I am sure it is nearly impossible to keep up with it. Hopefully someone steps in if the unlikely event of #ElonMusk pulling an FTX. (too soon?)
