Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive

Modern book burnings create a lot less smoke and noise.

What is really funny. Did anyone of you gave a 5 minutes to check if there are any official government documentation that this actually happened? Nope. What does the sheep say? Baaaa baa :DDDDD

Musk should really be removed from power.

Isn't it weird how "doge" just goes after anything that actually benefits people?

They used to burn books. Now they just defund information storage services.

Oh gosh Internet archive saw a lot of shit but continued their work no mater what, I got most of old ROMs there its a great digital museum but wrong people in wrong places of power will ruin every beneficial things out there.

He is such a poser.

Honest question...Can we just pop all that on a server in Canada or something? Couldn't the devs make a deal with another country not bound by your IP law or "government" to save your history along with that of other countries as well?

I'm gonna ask my MP as well.

$345,000?

That's like, 2 devs and an 8 CPU VM.

Genuinely thought that his shirt read "kech support"

Extremists always destroy history so they can write their own.

I am not now, nor have I ever been a Christian, but shit like this makes me go Jesus Fucking Christ.

Archive.org is a critical repository of knowledge and archiving the internet. Elon has cut nothing, but damaged a ton. It is kinda incredible how many damage he has done.

Best $100 I ever spent.

Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.

Trying to burn digital books. Fascism in 2025.

The government funded them $345,000.

This is 100% spiteful and not an example of "wasteful government spending"

Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:

Double plus ungood

They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.

sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…

They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.

The people want them gone.

And it’s 100% justified.

They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.

Europe here: can we have it? 😅

noo I found pages there that where offline for years before I read a mention of them 😥

Who else is waiting to see "DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia"?

I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?

If we need to just go sit in the street outside the capitol until Trump is removed, I'm in.

Well since I stopped paying federal taxes I might as well donate to the IA directly.
