Julian Assange has unveiled a sinister reality lurking behind the screens of our digital world. The keepers of the Internet archives, the modern custodians of our history, are erasing and altering the very fabric of our collective memory. This bombshell report exposes a critical issue that demands immediate attention: the centralization and manipulation of digital archives.

Imagine a world where our history can be rewritten, where significant events can be erased with a few keystrokes, and where the truth is at the mercy of those in control of our digital repositories. This isn’t a dystopian nightmare; it’s our present reality. The information is centralized in one place, and the wrong people are at the helm.

The Fragile Nature of Digital Archives. Digital archives have become the backbone of modern knowledge preservation. Gone are the days when libraries across the nation housed physical copies of every significant document, book, or newspaper. Today, vast amounts of information are stored electronically, often in single repositories. The Guardian’s archives, for example, exist solely in digital form, accessible only through the Internet. This centralization makes them vulnerable to manipulation and deletion.
