Are you calling a man that was living under a g*nocide documenting the horrific war crimes an idiot because he didn't back up his data, do you hear yourself??

This is HN. This thread is about data and backups. Yes.

Begging the question there, aren’t we? I can’t imagine that as the takeaway.

If you can upload it to Meta's servers, you can back it up too.

Technically there was a backup we knew about that was taken down, too.

The number one priority was for him to spread the information as fast as possible to as many people as possible. Given the limited bandwidth, limited electricity, limited availability for physical storage devices, and limited everything, do you really think that backing up his data was his priority? Have some empathy...
