  • That automated program flagged at least tens of thousands of historical photos, most of which aren’t as silly as ‘haha plane gay’ but of actual people (some of whom are still very much alive) in a blatant attempt to literally whitewash American history.

The loss of even one of those files is completely disrespectful on a number of levels

Idk man, I’m going through some stuff

    Edit: Fixed a pretty bad typo
