    Given the amount of internet fuckery that happened in the 2016 election, I’m not surprised that the Pentagon is monitoring everything going on in the Internet. I’m not sure what they can do about it in most cases, but I guess it helps to keep tabs.

      We’ve known that the NSA stores everything they can get their hands on for more than a decade. It’s one of those things we just pretend isn’t still happening.

            FOIAing a backup of your lost website would be epic.

            We also might be able to fill in some gaps in the internet archive that way someday.
