- cogburnd02 12y agoExcept _internet_history_ is no-one's to control; once something is on the internet, it belongs to The People.
- abootstrapper 12y agoRight, like revenge porn and Celebgate! Once someone has seen it online, everyone has the RIGHT to see it until the end of time.
- voltagex_ 12y agoWho gets to decide what is and isn't of historical value?
- cogburnd02 12y agoWell, we have access to letters written by Thomas Jefferson and letters written by Emily Dickinson they probably didn't think we should have. (They were private letters, after all.) But we have a more comprehensive view of these people because of it.
- HCIdivision17 12y agoYou can get your site taken down, if that's your worry. But like generally on the internet, your best recourse is to control your online presence at the source. Don't post regrettable things publicly, and you should be fine. If other people do it to you, your issue really would be with them; fortunately, if something terrible is done, you've the Archive to prove the damage and back you up. It really is a different beast from your normal panopticon internet tracking. This is more akin to showing up in the newspaper, rather than a surveillance camera.
