1/4 How did things go so wrong? We think it all started with the repeal of Section 230 back in 2022. Information-sharing organizations became liable for all content uploaded by third parties and most were bankrupted with legal fees... #IA2046 Image
2/4 @EFF tried to fight back against the lawsuits that followed the repeal of Section 230, but it was just too many... #IA2046 Image
3/4 Then reputation management firms started suing individuals - Wikipedia editors, Redditors, content creators. Only big corporations could afford to have a voice and our online communities were destroyed. #IA2046 Image

Activists built community-based archives to preserve evidence of violations and atrocities, and to tell their own diverse stories, like:

- yemeniarchive.org (@YemeniArchive)

-wit.to/BerkeleyCopwatchDatabase (@Copwatch411)

Even Individuals and small organizations that weren’t necessarily archives adopted ways to safeguard their own work, show solidarity with documenters, and contribute to preserving our histories.

2/4 The cartel that controls the flow of truth was only created in 2026. Before that, news and information didn't belong to anyone and you could just access it for free online. #IA2046
