What are the legal implications of this in regards to the right of being forgotten, copyright laws or even the simple issue of moderation? For example if someone posts a hateful tweet or some extremist content (e.g. photos of terror, etc.) which goes against the law (and therefore gets taken down by Twitter) is it not reprehensible if archive.org is re-publishing such content?
- mvzvm 6y agoThe reprehensible act is the tweet. Keeping records and archives of what people do in a public forum is not.
- secondcoming 6y agoBut what is not considered reprehensible today may be considered reprehensible tomorrow.
- dustinmoris 6y agoI disagree. Twitter often takes content down which is very problematic, including of very serious sexual and criminal nature and even other non criminal content such as self harming content by children or other people who go through troubling times. Not everything is a Donald Trump tweet and I see serious problems by a blanket unmoderated archive.
