You guys need to watch the Assange video itself. It needs to be pointed out that Assange never said the Internet Archives (wayback machine) was compromised, he's saying that each company only has 1 server hosting their materials, and if those materials are deleted, they are lost forever. The Internet Archive is completely fine and safe, I've never heard of anyone on our side attacking that website. The Internet Archive just takes a snapshot of the page by downloading and storing the info sent from the original websites backend, it doesn't touch anything. This isn't wikipedia, you cannot edit what the wayback machine archives.
However, he is correct that websites hosting their own information on a centralized server CAN result in information being lost forever if not properly backed-up. I've bookmarked many things that no longer exists, so that is very real.
But please, DO NOT ATTACK THE INTERNET ARCHIVE! IT'S OUR GREATEST TOOL AGAINST THEM! Pulling up how old versions of webpages, definitions, news articles, old tweets, etc, have changed really shows how much control on information they have. Unless WallStreetApes (someone who over conflates words said in speeches like this CONSTANTLY) can prove that point specifically, he's full of shit. I've seen a lot of posts like this out of that guy, he CONTINUALLY misconstrues information like this, which is a very dangerous thing. Now we got people spouting misinformation and potentially running normies off after they easily disprove these claims. This guys giving me Dom Lucre vibes right now, really losing trust after all these over exaggerations.

I did watch it. I also didn't quite understand what he said. Ok. Got it.
Eventually they will be able to muse AI to rewrite all the archives
