    Just for people who don’t realize, they are deleting all this information, and preserving none of it other than a screen cap. This is gone for good.

      Even if it’s backed up, will those backups be retained for 4 years? 8 years? By the time someone is in power will they even be able to restore this content? Probably not.

      We’re left with things like Wikipedia and archive.org snapshots - second hand resources that can easily go away.

      The brain drain is real and fucking terrifying.

        The pentagon has said they aren’t preserving anything other than a screen cap at best. Your either getting a screen cap low res, no links, or nothing. I’m guessing a lot of it is nothing.
