摘要:

历史学家和研究人员相信网络档案馆可以保存在实时网络上不再存在的社交媒体内容。然而,我们在实时网络上看到的内容以及它在存档中的重播方式并不总是相同的。在本文中,我们记录并分析了自Twitter于2020年6月强制使用其新UI以来Twitter存档中存在的问题。大多数Web存档无法存档新的UI,导致存档的Twitter页面显示Twitter的“出错”错误。存档新UI的挑战迫使Web存档继续使用旧UI。为了分析由于这一变化而导致的网络档案数据中信息的潜在损失,我们使用了美国第45任总统的个人Twitter帐户@realDonaldTrump,该帐户于2021年1月8日被Twitter暂停。特朗普的账户被推特贴上了大量散布错误信息的标签,但我们发现,在网络档案中没有证据证明他的一些推文曾经被分配过标签。我们还研究了新UI的存档版本中时间违规的可能性,这可能导致重播在实时Web上从未存在的页面。我们的目标是教育可能使用网络档案的研究人员,并在根据存档的Twitter页面得出结论时提醒他们。

英文摘要:

Historians and researchers trust web archives to preserve social media content that no longer exists on the live web. However, what we see on the live web and how it is replayed in the archive are not always the same. In this paper, we document and analyze the problems in archiving Twitter ever since Twitter forced the use of its new UI in June 2020. Most web archives were unable to archive the new UI, resulting in archived Twitter pages displaying Twitter's "Something went wrong" error. The challenges in archiving the new UI forced web archives to continue using the old UI. To analyze the potential loss of information in web archival data due to this change, we used the personal Twitter account of the 45th President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump, which was suspended by Twitter on January 8, 2021. Trump's account was heavily labeled by Twitter for spreading misinformation, however we discovered that there is no evidence in web archives to prove that some of his tweets ever had a label assigned to them. We also studied the possibility of temporal violations in archived versions of the new UI, which may result in the replay of pages that never existed on the live web. Our goal is to educate researchers who may use web archives and caution them when drawing conclusions based on archived Twitter pages.
