Journalists rely on access to source material. @documentcloud integration with Filecoin and @IPFS keeps government records, legal filings, and investigative materials online, even when publishers are targeted or taken offline.

Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked archive.org and openlibrary.org offline.
@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.
Will share more as we know it.

If you're a DocumentCloud user, we're looking for feedback & testing on a revamped interface. Our goal: Much, *much* faster load times; more accessible functionality; improved display of a range of pieces of metadata; a foundation that others can build on for years to come. HMU!

📝 @documentcloud, a @MuckRock project, is a platform used by newsrooms worldwide that hosts over 11+ million key public interest documents.
Documents like the CIA CREST database, a historical trove of 13 million pages.
Since 2022, MuckRock has been working with @FFDWeb to create a more resilient system to preserve these documents and to protect them from increasingly serious threats to public access.
Now, any journalist that uploads to DocumentCloud can also send a copy to the @Filecoin network.
Over 750,000 documents have been stored on @Filecoin network via DocumentCloud, including the CIA CREST database.
@Filecoin and @IPFS provide the backbone for this important preservation effort.
With the data stored on Filecoin, MuckRock, alongside @TheoriqAI, is exploring how years of declassified CIA documents can be made more accessible with the help of an AI agent, enabling natural language queries to search the Filecoin network database.

Read this thread. Then read the article. Then read the underlying records that we’ve made public for the first time via a @documentcloud embed.
Why does @NYCMayor fully back the NYPD officials who are saying wild stuff on the news/on social media?
Perhaps because Adams himself used to be an NYPD official who said dubious stuff on TV—and in 2006 he was disciplined for it
