The Waybackmachine internet archive site claims we can save snaphots of any internet page on their server. Believe it? We live in a world of deception and lies. If you really want to preserve something you have to do it yourself. However, this is the reality.

"The internet is forever, except when it’s not. Sure, that one terrible tweet you made back in 2015 will probably outlive us all in the form of screenshots, memes, and increasingly-terrible dunks, but most things online will quickly fade into the ether. Usually this is a natural occurrence, but occasionally it’s forced. Since the internet is far too expansive and ever-changing for any one person to keep track of, we generally just don’t, instead choosing to outsource our collective memory to the fleet of helpful web-crawlers and archival services that already troll the web’s depths. But even that system, it turns out, has a shaky foundation.

The Wayback Machine is a 279-billion strong (and growing) collection of preserved web pages maintained by the non-profit Internet Archive. Far more than just a digital archive of blogs past, the Wayback Machine is one of the few remaining means by which users can reconstruct the way the internet once was, and hold online content creators accountable for their past actions. If a particular version of a website has been captured by the Wayback Machine, no amount of updates or changes to the page can overwrite the existence of the first version. No one can sneakily edit the content of a snapshotted article, post, message, or what have you, and then turn around and claim that it’d actually been that way the whole time. The whole point of the Wayback Machine is supposed to be that it captures things as they are, like they are frozen in amber, a true lawful neutral through and through."

The internet’s collective memory has no backup

Well, I guess we're all educated enough on how things are and how they got that way. The point of education is to get people to do things.
