      Is that even possible with amount of records there are? They can kinda delay and twist the truth for a while but not for long.

          Yup. There’s still an outcry any time a foreign parliament declares an acknowledgement of the fact that there was such a thing as the Armenian genocide.

          Japan still denies their share of ww2 atrocities, and I believe the US cut a deal with them for the results of those atrocities.

        I just hope records are still being maintained. Digital records are fragile if not stored in a cloud.

          I’m sorry what? Digital records, ones you can infinitely and cheaply copy and store are fragile? I’ve been seeing this meme come up now and then and I’m seriously perplexed how. People are literally spending billions to digitize stuff because it’s easier to archive 🫣

            Oops I dropped the laptop.

            Oops the hackers encrypted all my data in a ransomware attack.

            Oops my credit card expired, so my cloud storage didn’t renew.

            Oops I forgot the password to my encrypted thumb drive.

            Oops I lost my micro SD card.

            Oops I dropped my phone in the toilet.

            Oops my photo hosting company went out of business 6 months ago and I forgot to download my photos.

              Every one of those can be rebutted with a physical equivalent.

              Except with digital you can reply with “it’s okay I had 1000 copies of that document as I know it was important”.

            If it’s distributed properly then yeah. If not then it’s actually easier to get rid of than hard records.

      Internationall, it’s a known fact. Of course the current goverment will try to deny it but in some (many) years in a different political context they might acknowledge it… Guess we’ll see.
