In a “smartphones everywhere” world, it’s critically important for archivists, activists, and journalists to think strategically and ethically about using, sharing, and preserving human rights-related web and social media content for advocacy or evidentiary purposes. This panel will explore how web archives can be used in an advocacy context, and the challenges and risks such efforts face.
