Shouldn't it be hard to delete things from a library and historical-archive?
If you had to choose between the GDPR, & an accurate historical record, which would you prefer?
- Mezzie 5y agoWe won't. Pretty much the only way things leave archives of record (which is what IA is trying to be) are through Acts of God (if the archive burns down/all of IA's servers are taken out in a mass alien EMP attack). An author suggesting that the LoC remove their copy of a book/other work (including digital works) because they want to unpublish it would not fly. The parent comment has an issue with anything on the Web not hidden in some way being considered 'public' and 'published', but that would be something that would require international cooperation to hash out.
