#DigitalPreservation #DigitalArchiving #DigitalMemory #DataLoss: "The history of knowledge is not one of simple progress or accumulation. Knowledge production in the digital era, like the creation and storage of knowledge across the centuries, is unfolding as a continual oscillation between gains and losses.

Data loss on a small scale — missing phone contacts, digital files lost to a glitch — is the occupational hazard of existing in a digitally reliant world. But data erasure at scale is always political. Responses to erasure and loss must exceed technical fixes and knee-jerk reactions; instead, governments and organizations must constantly reassess the ethical and regulatory frameworks that govern our relationship with data. The mainstream narrative that we are living through an era of exponential, near-infinite knowledge accumulation no longer fits a society in which we lose our collective record of ourselves day in and day out."

#DigitalMemory

"Historians have long warned about the decay of digital news archives, which are increasingly falling victim to mishandling, indifference, bankruptcies and technical failures.

But some of the Hook’s founding journalists suspect the archive didn’t simply expire from natural causes. They think someone paid to kill it."

I've been trying to wrap my head around the #Twitter chaos and its relevance for #digitalmemory. I see people urging others to download their data and archives as EMusk lays off employees crucial for infrastructural maintenance.

A spreadsheet with your data can hardly encompass the affordances and social networks that made these personal memories valuable.
