really looking forward to hosting this event later this month. If you're in the neighborhood, come on by and commemorate dead tech, networks and more with your eulogies and memories.
Digital memory is not a given (someone has to fight for it). 🏛️
Brewster Kahle from Internet Archive Europe joined the Facebook Museum opening to discuss public infrastructure and protocols that enable users to own their data.

Hello @liaizon — thanks for raising this.
Access to the site is restricted to approved researchers; once access is granted people can explore the model and related materials. The model itself is hosted on Hugging Face under a community license. They are using a request process to balance openness with responsible-use, not to block legitimate research.
We read! And sometimes also write them too. @experimentmapass @cbase @internetarchive @dweb

Why can't we let Facebook go?
On 10 April, @brewsterkahle joins the opening of the Facebook Museum at Evoluon, Eindhoven — for a conversation about digital memory, big tech, and who really owns your online past.
📅 10 April | 17:30 CET | Eindhoven
Next week at #CloudFest2026, @brewsterkahle takes the main stage to mark a milestone: one trillion webpages preserved by the Internet Archive.
The real question: will the next trillion be possible?
📅 26 March, 4:20 PM CET, Main Stage, Europa-Park

So inspired to be here in Berlin taking with community members about building DWeb Camp later this July. @dweb
Many thanks to @Terburg for his awesome photos and A/V skills bringing the event online for people not able to attend in Amsterdam.
Larissa did a bang up job on her presentation “Internet Archive: Research & Method Use Cases” and @brewsterkahle was on hand to answer some Q&A. In case you missed it, watch it on the archive.
