“This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted,” Internet Archive director of archiving and data services Jefferson Bailey told the Standard, “like our museums, our historical societies, our public libraries, our academic libraries — just a lot of people that keep information free and accessible and online.”

Ugh some asshole who’s only going to live a century depriving an endless future of historical knowledge. Musk needs to be detained and imprisoned.
Yes, “detained.” And “imprisoned.” ☠️
I wished we hadn’t voted for him. Wait a minute…
Isn’t it weird how “doge” just goes after anything that actually benefits people?
They are just after things that doesn’t benefit them
To be replaced by something privately funded, if at all.
They also have a merch store: https://store.archive.org/
He is literally a foreign terrorist. Deport his ass!
Deport? Dude he is still a man of serious means. It won’t stop him. He needs to be put in a supermax prison and in isolation. It is an intensely cruel punishment but the only appropriate one.
Yes, I like your idea much better
Solitary confinement is absolutely torture, and a supermax prison like USPS Florence ADMAX sometimes make people question if they even exist anymore.
But for people like Elon it is the only appropriate punishment. They need to be isolated from everyone and everything.
Time to donate again :)
They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.
They don’t deserve lineages
It’s part of the fascist playbook
They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.
“My lies can’t be wrong if I erase all records of the truth”
Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.
Oh gosh Internet archive saw a lot of shit but continued their work no mater what, I got most of old ROMs there its a great digital museum but wrong people in wrong places of power will ruin every beneficial things out there.
Musk should really be removed from power.
no one voted him in power in the first place, doesnt that go directly against democracy too?
Musk should be removed entirely. He has gone completely authoritarian.
Vacation to El Salvador. Permanent.
Isn’t he an illegal? Oh he isn’t and you say he has papers? Oops! Sorry, cannot get him back, we don’t have that kind of power, shrug emoji!
He should join a Mario game as the second player.
The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of “wasteful government spending”
Spitefulness is the point. Trying to make progressives cry. “Owning the libs”.
When donvict talked about being “your” retribution, he was throwing red meat to complete dumbasses because this is the kind of shit he is planning for them. Performative bullshit that will do nothing for the base, and certainly nothing for normal Americans.
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.
America, where the good stuff is funded on the side.
It sucks because the goal of all of this is privatization. They literally want regular people to pick up the “slack” (that they themselves artificially created) and fund things that are supposed to be public services.
So when they cut shit like this, our options are basically to: let it die, or do the exact thing that they want. Either way, it’s a win for them. It fucking sucks.
Just join the party? Everybody knows the US is a steaming shitshow more than usual.
Sorry, I don’t see what you’re saying
I give 5$ every month to wikipedia. I can give another 5$ to archive.org every month.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
He looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
…what
I said, he looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
As in, he’s a dick (asshole), that’s a pussy (coward).
Honest question…Can we just pop all that on a server in Canada or something? Couldn’t the devs make a deal with another country not bound by your IP law or “government” to save your history along with that of other countries as well?
I’m gonna ask my MP as well.
Canada is another country that claim to be cool but if there are image of burning kids from Gaza or reference to Israel genocide or war crimes they will delete the data themselves.
Best approach would be a decentralized archive.
The author of archive box makes a very strong case for the need for both decentralized and centralized archives like the internet archive: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-changelog-software-development-open-source/id341623264?i=1000678444105
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, until there is any actual examples of Canada banning images. Even in this case, it’s a loss of public funding rather than blocking. The internet archive is mostly privately funded.
sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…
Thanks errer
Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way
❤️ love you Internet Archive
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍
