Chuck DarwinWe're generating more data than ever before, yet we might be leaving fewer lasting records than any civilization in history.
Remember Geocities?
Yahoo shut it down in 2009,
taking with it millions of early websites
- a unique snapshot of early internet culture.
The Internet Archive managed to save some pages,
but most are gone forever.
MySpace lost 12 years of music uploads during a server migration.
Google+ vanished, taking with it communities and conversations.
Vine? Gone.
The original Twitter? Transformed beyond recognition.
But platform death is just the tip of the iceberg.
Consider format obsolescence:
try opening a WordPerfect file from 1995,
or running software from a floppy disk.
Even if you have the data, you might not be able to access it.

Why the Internet Era Might Be History's Least-Documented Period
Last week, I tried to find some photos from my college graduation. Despite being only fifteen years ago, they proved surprisingly elusive - trapped on a defunct Photobucket account, lost to a crashed hard drive, and scattered across social media platforms that no longer exist. This got me thinking about
evacideIf you could tell your Congressional rep not to vote for a bill that would give the Trump administration the power to revoke non-profit status from any org they don't like...say...EFF, for example, I would appreciate it.

Tell Congress Not To Weaponize The Treasury Department Against Nonprofits
The House of Representatives just passed a dangerous bill that gives broad and easily abused new powers to the executive branch would allow the Secretary of Treasury to strip a U.S. nonprofit of its tax-exempt status. Nonprofits would not have a meaningful opportunity to defend themselves, and could be targeted without disclosing the reasons or evidence for the decision. Even if they are not targeted, the threat alone could chill the activities of some nonprofit organizations. Over 130 civil liberties, religious, reproductive health, immigrant rights, human rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+, environmental, and educational organizations signed a letter opposing the bill as written. We most tell the Senate not to pass H.R. 9495, the so-called “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act.”

Dan GillmorOnly one journalist -- @molly0xfff -- did the serious reporting this year on the cryptocurrency industry's successful purchase of politicians who will deregulate the most corrupt crowd since the 2000s real-estate and banking crew stole countless billions from average folks and nearly killed the global economy.
They may succeed this time with the latter.
