Stop wasting money saving tweets!

Created by J.K. on January 05, 2013

Cut funds to the Library of Congress if they don't have anything better to waste taxpayer money on than archiving people's personal twitter comments! Nothing of any importance is written on most tweets. The few from protesters in oppressed countries are already stored in newspaper articles, which are already saved. There is no valid reason to waste money archiving insipid tweets from the general public. Not to mention the violation of privacy of the tweeters. Stop this waste of tax money. If the LOC hasn't anything better to do, eliminate their budget. Save us from another government boondoggle!
