Privacy is a big reason why. Archiving is also a very common way to dox people. Not to mention, I just don’t want my shit to exist online indefinitely. I want my data to be forgotten. In what way is this bad. Hoarding everything indefinitely is bad.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I see zero reason why others would be entitled to archive your content, nor hiding the true target from the user. Those are not bad things.
Read up on Archive.org and “link rot”.
I know what that is, and I believe in the right to be forgotten.
The right to detach your (private) personal information from some content, doesn’t mean you should have the right for your content to be forgotten.
Yes you should…
