Another case why the Internet Archive is one of the most important organizations of our time. A lot of people attribute this to the rewrite of history, and the far-right wing parties across the planet abuse misinformation propaganda strategies to an extent never seen before - exactly because of this phenomena.

Google nowadays can't even find links from 10 years ago, let alone not show me stupid ads that have nothing to do with the search terms. The social internet ruined accreditability and transparency of where the information comes from.

We need to fix this. Otherwise the people in power will be the people that control misinformation (which, globally speaking, is AIMS, Team Jorge, and Russia right now).



I don't know where you live, pal, but in my country, it's the extreme left that one that's rewriting History and censoring books and media. So yes, Internet Archive is the very important but not because of what you said but because of the opposite.
