I’m reminded every year on my Facebook memories of this fact when I posted the Donald Trump Oprah interview where he said he’d run as a Republican because they’re the dumbest voters and we had a long conversation about it in my feed, and the video is removed. And every instance of it is gone. And snopes has a fake fact check on it, claiming it was from a magazine and was false. And people have discussions about it being a Mandela effect thing.
Except we quote it in our conversations on my old Facebook post.
The internet is not a bastion of unfettered memory that cannot be manipulated. That whole thing shattered that illusion for me.
