> Is losing information on the war really a bad thing?
From the other day: https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/11/11/1063162/twitters-imminent-collapse-could-wipe-out-vast-records-of-recent-human-history/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/11/11/1063162/twitters...
But then we get to other issues such as 'Lost memories': War crimes evidence threatened by AI moderation - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-socialmedia-rights-trfn-idUSKBN23Q2TO https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-socialmedia-rights...
And further back: Youtube and Facebook are Removing Evidence of Atrocities, Jeopardizing Cases Against War Criminals https://theintercept.com/2017/11/02/war-crimes-youtube-facebook-syria-rohingya/ https://theintercept.com/2017/11/02/war-crimes-youtube-faceb...
Recently: Are tech companies removing evidence of war crimes? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60911099 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60911099
Or from the EFF - Amidst Invasion of Ukraine, Platforms Continue to Erase Critical War Crimes Documentation - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/04/amidst-invasion-ukraine-platforms-continue-erase-critical-war-crimes-documentation https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/04/amidst-invasion-ukrain...
So yes, losing information on the war is a bad thing.
