    Journalism is already dead if journalists cannot defend the archive service for their journalism from the pointless wrath of their own employers.

    shrugs I mean I look forward to one day rebuilding these things when we finally have a chance but this is the end of the road for traditional news organizations on the internet.

      Journalism is already dead, we’re just hearing the echoes of it’s past.

      Noone has to write the articles anymore

      Noone can tell the real from the fake

      There are no rules or integrity around the process

      Points of view are now owned.

      Algorithms will decide what is true and what is false.

      The only journalism that exists anymore fits squarely into the 1984 hole.

      The Internet Archive needs to be decentralized and taken deep offline with only tunnels back.
