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
- just as 'cyberspace' fantasy denies the body, so FB deems 'bodily' content out of place there
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. - Network 23 hosting collective member
Hosting a group does not meant 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 force 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
- 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
