I made this related submission[0] recently but it was flagged.
This stuff is very important to talk about so I hope that this submission by rbanffy isn't also flagged.
No it isn't. It's merely a cause du jour for data hoarders to justify their hobby in light of this Chicken Little hysteria.
30 years ago it was thought collecting every issue of magazines like TV Guide was important. No one even knows what that is anymore.
No one is ever going to look at 99% of this data. In the meantime, send more hard drives for my NAS!!
I agree. I do not understand how this is perceived as an political issue and thus got flagged.
Climate change is perceived for some reason politically too and not get flagged so often.
