🧵 Wayback Machine director Mark Graham is thanking the hundreds of journalists speaking out in support of the #WaybackMachine and the importance of preserving the online historical record.

This is critical, because web history disappears when it can’t be preserved. ️

Some publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving parts of the public web, putting decades of digital history at risk.

Join the journalists in telling publishers: don’t block the Wayback Machine. Sign the petition ️ https://www.savethearchive.com/newsleaders/

@internetarchive Juste une pétition pour l'archivage du net ! Sans question, spontané, pour un projet qui à ma connaissance n'a nul égal !
