Library of Congress to receive entire Twitter archive
The Library of Congress and Twitter have signed an agreement that will see an archive of every public Tweet ever sent handed over to the library’s repository of historical documents.“We have an agreement with Twitter where they have a bunch of servers with their historic archive of tweets, everything that was sent out and declared to be public,” said Bill Lefurgy, the digital initiatives program manager at the library’s national digital information infrastructure and preservation program. “The archives don’t contain tweets that users have protected, but everything else — billions and billions of tweets — are there.”
Maybe with the new exectuive power to have americans detained or killed without trial, people tweeting about inane things will simply be killed outright and thus save gaia

Hi Epa.
As you being the modern equivalent of a greek oracle may i ask a question?I'm 'punished' by twitter i'm considered 'spam' so i don't show up in twitter search, will they use a drone on me?
Question: Will these tweets be classified, crossed referenced, etc.? Otherwise, how could people have access to this literary and historical documentation?
Will, unfortunately I have consulted my wife Cassandra, and you are a dead man.
Please include me in your will.
Charles, they will be available only as one giguntic text file with no spaces forcing everyone who wants to find something in the archive to use a new DHS search engine which will (in addition to creating a new database of who searched for what) pinpoint you on the earth's surface for the new Air Force 25 minute, anywhere on earth response system.
