It is interesting that people say "the internet never forgets", yet this article clearly shows it does.
Do we want the internet to forget, or not to forget? Is forgetting so bad? Not everything needs to be collected and catalogued and preserved forevermore.
There is a lot of crap out there - I'd be happy for some personal stuff I posted many years ago as a much younger and naïve person to just slowly rot away.

- krapp 7y ago"The internet" never forgets porn. It never forgets your dox. It will never forget anything it can use against you for the lulz. Everything else is a house of cards, though. It's just software on a server, after all, and if no one cares to back it up, no one will.
