  • Is there any structure in place to assure the continuity of this project? I have seen you answer to a similar question that you "can leave a will". I am genuinely concerned about the loss of data archived here, were you - God forbid - to be hit by a bus or something.

    I had an email provided by my mobile operator. I considered it very reliable - even if it was hacked, I had a paper contract, I could visit their office to restore.  So I used it in critical places: in contracts, as an email to register on all sorts of utility sites, as an email to restore access to various services. After 10+ years, the mobile operator decided it wasn’t their business and shut down the email service.

    What structure in place could assure the continuity?

    I’m not even asking if there was one in that case (and if there is one in GMail), I just don’t understand what could be such a structure to assure continuity of any service. What should I have demanded to avoid data loss?

    Archive.Today was born precisely out of an understanding of the fragility of services from which it itself is not immune. And this is not a project to transmit information to distant descendants, it is a project to let latecomers be witnesses. Having the magic to assure continuity, I wouldn’t need to invent such weak tools.
