www.battleforlibraries.comDon’t let libraries die. As the future goes digital, major publishers are suing to cut off libraries’ defense of digital books from censorship. It’s time to fight back.
It looks like the internet archive is needed assistance, I just heard about this today and figured lemmy could help spread this message around

Fuck.
I really hope someone gets hold of the data and shares it on p2p or otherwise. If all this data is deleted it would be equivalent to nuking pyramids or burning Picasso paintings.
…library… Alexandria…
That’s one of the reasons why uploads to the Archive have torrents.
Now if they’d just fix the damn tracker…
Good luck, every day more than 1PB is uploaded to IA.
Honestly, I’d say it would be much much worse than your examples. It would be erasing parts of history itself.
Exactly. Losing Internet and digital history would create another dark ages for future historians. Everything we’ve done would just be gone.
If I had more money than humanly usable I would create a project that transcribes wikipedia or whatever onto stone/metal plates so it’s not forgotten.
Fuck yes, we need to get our hands on this stuff for fucks sake. I have shit there I don’t even know I need yet
Can someone fucking near get their ass there and do a legendary copy paste operation on a massive scale
