Article addressing Twitter + data preservation issues
@HauntedOwlbear @stokel @AbandonedAmerica very interesting article. I mostly think of digital preservation from video gaming angle, but the historical data stored in social media isn’t something I’ve thought about before.
The main worry with Twitter right now is that it is hanging from a thread. If it were implode there will be very few people left in it to cooperate with any preservation effort.

The sheer size of it is also an issue. Archive Team (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/) does a lot of bulk preservation work like this, but the amount of data on Twitter is immense.
