The
Wayback Machine, a massive
archive of the worldwide web, enables users to enter a data and go "back
in time" to view web pages from the past. GeekPress
reports that the Wayback Machine’s output has recently been ruled admissable
as evidence.
This should give us all pause about what we publish on the web. We can edit
entries, we can remove files, but we can’t change the past. And we can’t count
on time to cover our tracks. So anything we put up on the Web, we better be
comfortable with. Forever.
