What is the way of publishing that avoids censorship?

What about real-time censorship situations?

What about destruction on the long run? How does humanity archive itself? USB? Physical media. What about ecological consequences of infinite "cloud storage"? That dude that self-hosts by a solar panel. Post-truth.

Non-realtime publishing strategies: http://blog.bjrn.se/2020/01/non-realtime-publishing-for-censorship.html Digital signatures, identity, ownership - "signing": any change can be noticable, to track the originality of a document. Contrasting: To edit files? To re-publish?

A "living archive", organic form, subject to change? Collective editing.

production and distribution

PDF hate. Then becoming an open format (recenty, 2008), Adobe monopoly crash. PDFs with text (not only as a scanned image) > enables search function & copy.

What's up with "post-digital"?

Internet as the working memory of a culture, not really an archive... then projects like: web.archive.org or geocities archive (Olia Lialina)
