The web is disappearing 🕳️
According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.
But that’s not the whole story.
In a new study published in Internet Archive's book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found:
16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine.
56% are preserved before they disappear.
Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss.

A reminder of why Julian Assange was persecuted and targeted by the US for over a decade:
Among the many Wikileaks revelations was the Collateral Murder footage from Iraq, in which a US Apache helicopter opens fire.
Reuters journalists Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen were gunned down, several others were killed while the US pilots laughed.
11 settembre. 25 anni fa il terrorismo non attaccò soltanto il cuore degli Stati Uniti, ma tutto il mondo libero.
Un mondo libero che seppe unirsi e restare saldo nella consapevolezza di ciò che rappresenta.
L’anniversario di oggi ci ricorda che la democrazia e la sicurezza non sono conquiste scontate. Sono pilastri della nostra civiltà, che abbiamo il dovere di preservare insieme.
L’Italia è stata e continuerà a stare al fianco dei suoi alleati nella lotta al terrorismo, nel solco della difesa dei valori che uniscono le nostre Nazioni.
Il nostro pensiero commosso, oggi come allora, va alle vittime degli attentati dell’11 settembre 2001 e alle loro famiglie. Non dimentichiamo.
2001年9月11日に米国で発生した同時多発テロ事件から、本日で25年を迎えます。
この事件により、3000名近い方が犠牲となりました。
その中には24名の邦人の方もいらっしゃいました。
御家族や御友人など大切な方をなくされた方のお気持ちに思いを致し、この機会に、改めて心からの哀悼の誠を捧げます。
また、厳粛にこの日を迎える米国国民への変わらぬ連帯を表明いたします。
この事件は極めて卑劣かつ許し難い攻撃でした。
テロは自由で開かれた国際秩序に対する挑戦であり、いかなる理由であっても正当化できません。
我が国として、テロを未然に防止すべく、国際社会とも連携して取り組んでまいります。
Today marks 25 years since the terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001.
These attacks claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 individuals, including 24 Japanese nationals.
On this solemn occasion, extending my thoughts and deepest sympathies to those who lost their precious family members and friends, I once again express my heartfelt condolences and renew my unwavering solidarity with the American people as they solemnly observe this day.
These attacks were utterly despicable and unforgivable acts.
Terrorism constitutes a challenge to the free and open international order and can never be justified for any reason whatsoever.
Japan is committed to continuing its efforts, in close cooperation with the international community, to prevent such acts of terrorism in the future.
Vingt-cinq ans.
Le 11 septembre 2001 demeure gravé dans la mémoire du monde.
Nous n’oublions ni les vies fauchées, ni le courage de ceux qui ont tout risqué pour porter secours.
Aux victimes, aux familles, au peuple américain, j’exprime l’hommage de la France et sa fraternité.
Today, at the Pentagon, we unfurled the American flag in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years later, their memory remains with us.
We will never forget.
Deeply honored to receive Ecuador's National Order of Merit, in the grade of Grand Cross, from @danielnoboaok in Quito today.
A meaningful recognition of the strong and growing partnership between the United States and Ecuador.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump steps off Marine One after raging against Canada, looking CHAOTIC and FRIED. He seems to snap at the pilot, forgets the traditional salute to the marines right in front of him, fumbles his jacket, and walks like a zombie.
Something is terribly off. Damn.
