Archives need at once a guardian and a localization
Derrida, Archive Fever
The question of land refuses to go away.
Hakim Bey, Post Anarchism Anarchy
last trimester: geographic/virtual distance
Realpolitik of server location
Just as 'cyberspace' fantasy denies the body, so FB deems 'bodily' content out of place there
FB users are used to the cycle of deletion & re-uploading
Interviews with grassroots hosting providers
An example: although I'm opposed to fox hunting, I
believe that it is the right of people to... express
their desire to do it. Therefore if the government outlawed the
expression of the right to hunt foxes, then I would support a blog of
people wishing to express that right.

Hosting a group does not mean they cannot have a web presence - they need to find another provider. If they cannot, there is nothing to stop them getting the skills to set up their own hosting. Part of the principle behind ox4 comes from it's anarcho-roots whereby people shouldn't be coerced into doing work that they do not want to do. hosting a group that we didn't agree with 'politically' would be doing this type of work.
- OX4 hosting collective member
we ask everyone who requests a
blog to agree to the terms upon request. ...If we find that someone doesn't then we reserve
the right to disable their blog. I didn't used to hold that view for Indymedia, I was of the opinion that
whatever goes, that being selective was censorship. But over the years
having seen the trouble caused by being laissez-faire about policy... I'm more
judgmental about it these days.

My first thoughts were that I would leave the card in my wallet and not check its contents. ...The data remains abstract/imaginary. [But] when I saw the censored image the data gained visual form and meaning, and as a result the 'act of hosting' for me became a very conscious act. In this instance, the 'host' is not a passive participant but in knowing the contents becomes implicit and actively responsible for keeping the data in their possession.
Issues to explore
Let's face it: we're undone by each other. And if we're not, we're missing something. ...One does not always stay
intact.
