A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A legislative approach that protects what the archive does would be a much more reasonable approach.
Totally agree with you. These things need to be preserved in some way like physical media.
Kinda sounds like we need a decentralized, feterated internet archive for at least each nation and maybe individuals... Or maybe I just want to federate almost everything ^^'

Yes this is the answer. Split the data into many little chunks and have as many nodes as want to be involved acting as redundancies on the data.
Frequently publish the factor of safety in terms of data redundancy.
Would this be an application for blockchain or some other technology?
I think the more relevant bit here is that whoever controls the present, controls the past.
Very fair point, that nails it, thank you!
