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 i think you're a bit optimistic about how much of history is on twitter. But this does raise the question if news website won't soon regret embedding tweets instead of screenshotting them in much of their reporting.
