"This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted," Internet Archive director of archiving and data services Jefferson Bailey told the Standard, "like our museums, our historical societies, our public libraries, our academic libraries — just a lot of people that keep information free and accessible and online."

They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.

It's part of the fascist playbook

They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.

sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The post made me want to donate. Your link made me follow through. $25 for now. I hope others feel inspired to help too. Even a little bit from all us will help them float through the era Elmo and the Orangutan. 🦧

Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 187 points 1 week ago (7 children)

The government funded them $345,000.

This is 100% spiteful and not an example of "wasteful government spending"

I think people are going to find that, with the existence of the internet, it's a lot more difficult to completely remove things from the collective memory. Won't stop them from trying though.

Unless they pull some "Great Firewall" shit. And even then... That said, it does seem like they only need ~30% of the population to believe it, and they have that shit locked down.

They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.

The people want them gone.

And it’s 100% justified.

They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.

If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I'm in.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It won't do shit. These are the same people that wouldn't shut the fuck up about "FEMA death camps" when Obama was in office.

This is advanced brain rot.

Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?
