New update from @brewsterkahle on how the Internet Archive is learning from recent cyberattacks. https://blog.archive.org/2024/11/14/learning-from-cyberattacks/

In a new Q&A, Philip Bump, columnist for The Washington Post, reflects on why archiving the news goes beyond saving stories. From holding leaders accountable to capturing moments in culture, Bump shares insights on the need to preserve digital media. #VanishingCulture https://blog.archive.org/2024/11/04/vanishing-culture-qa-with-philip-bump-the-washington-post/

Thanks for your reply, @sirobsidian ! @thefalcon @internetarchive

@zdl @juergen_hubert @internetarchive This. With overreaching Copyright laws and DRM everywhere (even fucking books!) it's more important than ever to free those pieces of culture and store them safely.It's not a far fetch to assume the internet archive will lose its DMCA excemption once the next "check" is due. Download and save everything, preferably via their torrents.

Last week’s Physical Archive tour spotlighted preservation in action—where books, films & other media are safeguarded for the future. Couldn't make it? Check out the recap: https://blog.archive.org/2024/10/29/appreciation-for-preservation-at-physical-archive-event/We’re grateful for your ongoing support as we continue securing services.

@internetarchive long live the internet archive
