Over the last 30 years, significant portions of the Internet have been erased, including platforms like GeoCities and MySpace, driven by neglect, technological breakdowns, and systematic deletion by entities such as the Trump administration. Key resources like government webpages, military memorials, and climate change information have been wiped away, reflecting a troubling trend in cultural preservation. Additionally, funding cuts to essential programs further threaten the survival of valuable information and institutions, underscoring the fragility of accessible knowledge and public discourse in today's digital landscape.
Much of the Internet has vanished over the 30 years since it began, with past platforms like GeoCities, MySpace, and blogs disappearing due to neglect and purposeful deletion.
