Pretty much the title sums it up. There’s a lot to be concerned about, and one thing I find personally disconcerting is how US educational systems might be impacted.

Do we need to make backups of, like, everything educational and scientific? And where are all the places and forms that we can host these materials?

    Okay, I’m going to say this again considering you clearly didn’t read what I had to say.

    Not all literature is privately owned. I don’t think you’re quite aware of how many research studies, trials, and such are funded by the US Government. All of that information is currently accessible to quite a few people. What happens when it no longer is? And that’s just one example.

    Yeah… research? It’s saved in a thing called a document. Now it’s not super well known but documents are actually literature. Did you know that? Literature does not mean artistically written fiction. Literature is a pretty wide term and saved research and research results? Yeah. That’s included in that and is very much one of the things that OP was asking about.

    All you did just there was demonstrate how remarkably little you know about the subject and that you shouldn’t be speaking on it at all.

        Jesus Christ. Did I say anything about a journal? No. There are shitloads of ways that one can fund and host a document. Tons of Universities in the United States use that information in their Universities and keep them publicly available. Soemthing that the United States could force them to stop as the US has ownership rights to those documents. Now while the United States is currently set in a way that those papers are typically made publicly available due to taxpayers funding it, the concern that this thread is literally talking about is that they will change that.

        That is a single example for a single type of document.

        This post is asking a broad question and you keep focusing down to minute details and ignoring the questions actually asked.

        Your reactions are beyond obtuse in this situation. You don’t seem to be capable of thinking in any trajectory other than your own.

        Alright I’m blocking you now. You’re either willfully ignorant, maliciously ignoring half of what I have to say or a troll. In any case, you are wasting my time as well as everyone elses here and I’m done with it.

          You seem really angry for someone who never even tried to answer OP’s question. What specifically should they be archiving, oh wise one?
