The Internet Archive is supposed to be a non-partisan archive of all websites on the internet. A fantastic resource.
Only problem is that they are not as non-partisan as they advertise. Earlier today, I posted about a twitter from Matthew (WhjteHovse) about the glaring flaw in Oregon State's votor website - someone with the name and D.O.B. of a registered votor could log in and edit their information including their votes. Saw that last night and by this morning, Twitter had deleted not only the specific tweet but Matthew's entire account. Poof. Memory hole.
I looked and it was stil at the Internet Archive but when I went there just now, I get this:
To channel my inner Steve Martin - well excuuuuuuuuuuse me. That page was archived this morning. You deleted it. You did not not archive it. You had it and you deleted it. They do have about 250 of Matthew's earlier tweets archived but nothing later than October 7th.
