People are wondering what parts of their online selves, loved ones and favorite celebrities to save in case the bird goes belly up. Amid ongoing fallout from Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, speculation of the platform’s imminent collapse is swirling – leaving users wondering what parts of their online selves they’ll get to keep. After Musk laid off thousands of workers, many users have reported signs the platform is falling apart in real time – from glitching home pages to log-in failures – and researchers are desperately urging users to download their tweets in case Twitter implodes completely. “If there’s something you care about on Twitter, now’s the time to become like a temporary expert in digital archiving measures,” said Caroline Sinders, an artificial intelligence researcher and founder of human rights lab Convocation Research and Design. Digital archiving – the process of preserving online content for future use – has expanded steadily since the launch of the internet, but still exists in a patchwork, decentralized framework. There have been a number of efforts to salvage posts on Twitter throughout its 16 years of existence: the Library of Congress began archiving all tweets in 2007, but halted the process in 2017 due to the growing scale of the platform. It now saves Twitter content “on a selective basis”.
