00:01Archives of information have been centralised on computers.
00:05The Guardian's archives are only in one place, they're not in libraries all across the nation
00:12that people look for, they're only looked for on the internet, and because of copyright
00:17legislation they're not copied elsewhere to other places on the internet.
00:23So when something disappears from the archives, the electronic archives for the West to which
00:30all information is moving into, it is gone forever.
00:34It is not only ceased to have existed, it has ceased to have ever have existed.
00:42And when you go to those web pages that have been removed from Western papers, you won't
00:47see the tail lines, you will just see page not found.
00:50You won't see anything in the index at all.
00:53We are now approaching the state of Orwell's dictum, perfect dictum, that he who controls
01:02the present controls the past.
01:06He who controls internet servers controls the intellectual record of mankind, and by controlling
01:13that, controls our perceptions of who we are.
01:16And by controlling that, controls what laws and regulations we make in society.
01:22Have a great day.
