The “Archive Of Hate” – A Collection Of Social Media Negativity Over The Past Half Decade
I’m in the process of copying nearly 400 gigabytes of data to an external hard drive for archival purposes – some of it certainly will be deleted, if not most of it, with the remainder organized and stored away where it needs to be. The bulk of this is all data from previous projects which …
