VANISHING CULTURE is out now 📚

We tend to think the internet is permanent, but the new book from the Internet Archive starts with a simple reality: our digital memory is far more fragile than we think 🕳️

Vanishing Culture looks at legal pressures, platform restrictions, and limits on tools like the Wayback Machine already affecting what can be preserved.

This isn’t future risk, it’s happening now.

@internetarchive it's only permanent if someone thinks they can use it for personal gain or against you, I'm afraid.

It's an problem of definitions. What is "The Internet". Back in "the days" ist was information on servers. Today I would say it is more. Every digital Photoroll on any mobile, could be a packup of information. So when you think information is gone, it pops right out of nowehre, because someone post it on SocialMedia again or in the eprsonal website.
This is why we saying: "The internet don't forget!"
But of cause this is not a constitutional backup so anybody could access any data.
