<slidy theme="aa" />
Fragility of Archives
Archives need at once a guardian and a localization
Derrida, Archive Fever
- Fragility is inherent in the archive as form
- Digital storage does not transcend the need for physical space & safekeeping
last trimester: geographic/virtual distance
Real Politic of server location
FB censorship - example images
- just as 'cyberspace' fantasy denies the body, so FB deems 'bodily' content out of place there
Distributed network as solution to censorship?
If you post or comment material, post material to the Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any such material, "Content"), You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content... By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:
- the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party...
- the Content is not pornographic...
Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, David Morley has the right (though not the obligation) to, in David Morley's sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in David Morley's reasonable opinion, violates any David Morley policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in David Morley's sole discretion. David Morley will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
Views from grassroots hosting providers
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.
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.
- Even in decentralised networks, the server's guardian & localization determine inclusion/exclusion
Physical storage
The question of land refuses to go away.
Hakim Bey, Post Anarchism Anarchy
Eben Moglen: "in my pocket; break down my door"
- the question of hardware refuses to go away
- users must have physical guardianship of their servers
Distributed storage
Diaspora etc
Bodybook
