From America Now comes the news that the The Library of Congress is cataloging our Tweets on Twitter. Eventually, “tweeting” will not be the “in” thing to do in our leisure time.

However, the Library of Congress is currently collecting EVERY tweet from EVERY individual.

America Now cyber expert, Theresa Payton, says that “digital is forever.  The Library of Congress collects information that might be vital to our Nation’s history.  That mission extends to digital data, but they usually don’t collect everything digital and hold it forever.  Tweets are the exception and Payton tells us why:

‘The Library of Congress said they are not collecting ‘private’ tweets, which might mean the direct message function,’ Payton explains. ‘But they are collecting all tweets, regardless of topic, and storing them forever.'”
