Although interesting I always also see this as erase poor people data policy, same as people deleting their reddit comments
In 100 years they'll be investigating the real history of 2023, and most records were deleted, only aggregates survived by CNN and FoxNews, and other billion dollar institucions preserving their point of view
Today you can go 100 back and that John Panini traveled by boat from UK to US on what day and paid 1 cent
- jarjoura 3y agoThat's quite a hyperbolic stance. There's plenty of unerase-able public data on all of us, especially data that's going to be interesting in 100+ years from now. For example, things like owning property are recorded in the county registrar and will be there as long as the county registrar is. Everything else, like travel logs and diaries will continue to exist for everyone who wants them to exist. Just as people did 100 years ago, who intentionally kept diaries, these things will remain indefinitely. Regardless, there's so much content being pooped out right now that a single year will keep future anthropologists busy for centuries. There may be some overcorrection going on, but there's no way this is a bad thing. We had no idea what Einstein had for breakfast on May 5, 1903, and we're doing just fine.
