🚨Big news:🇺🇸 The Internet Archive just scored official US Federal Depository Library status!

This unlocks free digital access to gov docs like bills, laws, and prez records but in a hack-prone world, it's a juicy target.

@SenAlexPadilla push, IA now joins over 1,150 libraries in the Federal Depository Program, digitizing and preserving US gov pubs for global users.

It amps up their "Democracy's Library" collection and could weave these into Wikipedia for smarter research.

A game-changer for historians, educators, and anyone chasing facts online.

But rewind to last year's mess. A pro-Palestinian group DDoSed @internetarchive offline, hackers nabbed 31M users' data via an exposed GitLab token, then hit Zendesk for support tickets.

These breaches spotlighted weak spots in a non-profit juggling petabytes of irreplaceable history.

With federal docs now in the mix, security upgrades aren't optional they're urgent.

@Conste11ation , a DAG-based blockchain ace at handling massive data securely.

They've already teamed up with Common Crawl to cryptographically secure 9PB of web archives for AI training, adding provenance, immutability, and encryption.

Their tech has US Air Force creds, making it battle-tested for high-stakes ops.

Why pair them with IA?

Blockchain could decentralize storage, fend off DDoS and tampering, and validate data ethically—perfect for safeguarding federal archives against "digital book burning."

It aligns with Constellation's focus on gov and AI innovations, turning vulnerabilities into strengths.

The win? A bulletproof digital library fueling better AI models, research, and democracy without the breach hangover.

Constellation's fast, feeless setup scales seamlessly for IA's trillion-page empire.
