Since we'd be moving from legal protection to technical protection, would we also figure out some technical means whereby this would be accessible by Internet Archive only? Or would all of us be given a way to publish anything we want in a way that makes it accessible to the whole world but no government can impede? Would that then include sealed court records, intimate photos, performance reviews, credit card numbers, and so forth?
- generationP 6y agoWe have such havens already, and if the choice is between the Internet Archive plus everyone's naked pics or none of the two, I'd still vote for the former.

For example, underage rape victims who have videos of their rape forever available to any pervert online. Along with their contact info since nothing helps with trauma like continual harassment about it. That, btw, was a true example from my social media feeds although the site in question was pornhub so there was some recourse.
- geofft 6y agoAnd I'd vote for the latter - but since we're talking about moving things beyond the reach of any government, it's not like I'm actually able to vote on it, am I?
