Listen: What Happens if the Internet Archive Goes Dark? (Brewster Kahle is the Guest on KQED’s “Close All Tabs”)
From KQED:
For decades, the Internet Archive has preserved our digital history.
Lately, journalists and ordinary citizens have been turning to it more than ever, as the Trump administration undertakes an ideologically-driven purge of government websites. But the Archive itself faces an existential threat.
In this episode, Close All Tabs Senior Editor Chris Egusa joins Morgan to discuss his visit to the Internet Archive and its colorful founder Brewster Kahle, the legal battles that could shut it down permanently — and what losing it might mean for accountability and the preservation of history.
