What are you referring to here? Could you elaborate? Newspaper coverage of social media?
- hirundo 8y agoS/he's updating the phrase "written in stone" for the internet age.
- mishac 8y agoI think he means "written in ink" in the sense that something you post cannot be erased, much like how if you write something with a pen, vs with a pencil.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoSame thing as HN btw. Ive known a few European citizens asking for their posts and account deleted, and was refused point blank. Remember that. We're being used here just as much as on the FAANG platforms.

- rstupek 8y agoThey're referring to social media being permanent, no take backsies. Everything you share is going to be on the internet for all time
