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 this is true of any large service though. I've been concerned flickr was going to die for year's and that's used by a lot of blogs for cheap image hosting
@jperlow @rvawonk I went back to look at my livejournal a few years ago and as they didn’t do image hosting themselves every pic is hosted on a different defunct hosting site of the 00s
