There is a lot of history loss going on, despite backups. I've had personal content suddenly disappear from public services and lost many many communications due to filtering. Plus sudden hardware failures most of my personal backed up data is just gone now. Are there any software projects are out there to resist an eventuality of digital book burning? Personal knowledge and public knowledge have both fallen prey to targetted attacks. Wikipedia sure lacks decentralization and a web of revision trust. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
