@internetarchive @internetarchive Please permanently fix this problem. Every time I watch a video, like from SpongeBob, this just pops up, and it says "it can't be played because of a problem with your Internet connection." I turn off my wifi, and it's still doing it. Please do something.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional is one of the most studied decisions in American history. But the briefs filed in Brown v. Board of Education reveal dimensions that the opinion alone does not capture. Those briefs are now accessible to everyone on the Internet Archive, thanks to the Wolf Law Library at @WMLawSchool.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.

Yes. For those who want to see what @MYANC website was like before it lost complete access to posting new stuff on it because of nonpayment to the service provider, make a visit to @waybackmachine . Here's the Index page on Oct 17, 1997, for example. web.archive.org/web/1997101714…

The Wayback Machine is absolutely essential for research. Losing it would be like losing the internet's entire memory.
