On: Post Ghost Shutdown: An Open Letter to Twitter

[asimuvPR]

Brings some questions into my mind:

Can the archive project or similar crawl twitter to save content?

What kind of checks and balances should social media networks have? Supone they be regulated?

[homero → asimuvPR]

Archive projects usually listen to robots.txt

ArchiveTeam on the other hand is a bit more aggressive:

Though they generally do last minute emergency backups of closing sites, so this probably isn't a job for them.
