> Why? Many things that we do are not protected by constitutional rights. Because of weak protections, those activities are subject to be attacked or go away entirely at any time. LGBT marriage and abortion are two examples that get significant press coverage, but there are so many activities that deserve protections. Archiving the history of our species, as long as it fits within certain parameters, should be fundamentally protected. It's important for the future to understand us [1]. The internet is one of the most observable means of taking measurement of our lives and zeitgeist. Keeping snapshots is important. [1] I don't think this is a self-important delusion. I also don't think it's impossible for this reasoning to coexist with statements that decry social media as drivel and garbage. Our outputs can be both valuable and "worthless" at the same time.
