Conjecture: Social Media Firms Failing Humanity's Digital Archive

Original: Broswell Conjecture #2: Social media corporations are unable and unwilling to take care of the most comprehensive archiv

An online statement, framed as 'Broswell Conjecture #2', argues that social media corporations are both unable and unwilling to properly steward what it calls the most comprehensive archival record of human interactions ever created. The claim, shared via the Silent Museum project, ties into wider concerns about platform-driven loss of digital culture, as posts, images and conversations vanish when services shut down or delete content without preservation.

Why now: Debates over content deletion, platform shutdowns and the preservation of digital cultural heritage keep this criticism of social media companies relevant.
