As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages.

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.
