what is the solution?
Idk, Davie, how’d they beat fascism last time?
with 3 of the worlds current super powers. at the moment it looks like the only superpowers who want to push back against the fascists are thr EU and if you want to count Canada as a super power, Canada. I dont know if that will be enough.
edit: to add clarity to my standpoint, its not that I want fascism to win; its that I’m scared that with the backing of the US military and RU military that we may be in for a very bad time if anyone decides to go nuclear.
The outlet reports that deleted datasets “disproportionately” come from environmental science agencies like the Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Gosh.
Burning those libraries
Just fascist things
They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em

Yes, but technically they merely just removed the reference from the file table. If they don’t start writing too much additional data we can recover those data sets - there’s still time!
What do you wanna bet they aren’t just being scrubbed from the web, but actually destroyed.
This is why all publicly funded data should be openly available to everyone, so it can be replicated and no single dictator can destroy it.
Well, the donvict thugs will be coming for the Wayback Machine next.
Yeah, archive.org should probably consider moving to a free country.
Hopefully they start making hidden backups
