David Cameron
David Cameron en mai 2010
Alors que David Cameron se posait en leader de la démocratisation de l'internet, de l'ouverture des données, la suppression de près de 10 ans de discours publics et d'archives diverses du site de son parti (www.conservatives.com) risque de faire tâche.
  • Le site Computerweekly rapporte que les données ont été supprimées du site internet mais également de l'internet dans son ensemble dans la mesure où elles ne sont plus accessibles à partir de sites comme Internet Archive.
  • Le site compare cela à envoyer un Men in Black dépouiller les livres d'histoire dans une bibliothèque publique puis brûler le reste sur le parking.
  • Il rapporte également que si les données sont encore disponible quelque part sur internet c'est sur un "coin secret" comme les militaires, les services secrets, les gangsters et les pédophiles.
