It's great that @facebook and @Twitter shutdown disinformation accounts but given the public nature of the information posted and the acknowledgement of the creator's malicious intent, why not make this information available in archive form for researchers and investigators?

Denying operational capabilities shouldn't mean scrubbing any evidence of previous wrongdoing. These groups and efforts are often not made coherent until months and years after their operational viability has lapsed.

Moreover, much like some registrars have taken to stripping Domain Privacy for malicious domains, why not publish information about IPs and 'private interactions' originating from malicious accounts? Whose privacy are you protecting, exactly?
