So, if Twitter goes to hell and just becomes defunct, we’re going to lose entire chapters of recent history — including evidence of war crimes, human rights violations, and more. I hope we’re all paying attention to this and considering what we need to do to ensure that a billionaire can’t decide which parts of history to retain — and which parts to erase forever.

@rvawonk I remember when the Library of Congress was archiving every tweet, maybe the Internet Archive manages logs of tweets. I remember my middle school teachers had us keep Newspaper journals after 9/11 and I wish I still had mine.
