[talk] Do you think some lost media should be destroyed? Why or why not?
I’ve been reflecting on lost tapes like the final recording made by Timothy Treadwell and the Columbine tapes recorded by the perpetrators before the tragic incident. This got me wondering; should some tapes be permanently destroyed? I'm not asking whether these tapes should be publicly available, like, for example, the Timothy Treadwell tape, which still exists and is held by a close relative of his, as I understand it, but rather, should some tapes be completely destroyed so they are never accessible again? Excluding media that would be criminal to view, do you think some tapes or recordings should be permanently destroyed, never to be seen by anyone again?
