What is up with the Internet Archive?

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/...

I’m hoping the attacks on internetarchive will raise awareness of the importance of preserving history in a more official way

Many countries have a digital archive of every major newspaper print as part of the national library

(but I also assume some of the conspiracy theories are that nation states are trying to censor destroy the web… but still - I don’t think these newspaper archives would be around if they had only been private efforts)

yeah been surprised it didn't happen sooner

when states and "conspiracy" groups delete pages to pretend it's all a conspiracy theory and wasn't literally written on the official website of something, people would use the way back machine to look at the old page

so anyways obviously they need to 1984 destroy history so they can gaslight you
