Lady, EVOLVED 
@akjcv (no machine connected to the internet or owned by someone who may at some point be accused of breaking the law)
@akjcv some people intend for their posts to be a public record and in that context archiving that record can be reasonable and maybe even desirable. but many people very specifically do not
@akjcv the default stance should always be to not archive and archiving should have to be justified on a case-by-case basis, as a general principle
no data is secure and no machine connected to the internet is private
that’s not to take the extreme stance that nothing should ever be recorded, but recording a significant quote somebody said to you in your journal is different than keeping a continuous record of everything they have ever said, and the fact that it is easier to do with computers doesn’t change the ethical considerations with it
