Although I do agree that the internet has created communities, a set of norms, and languages, and skyrocketed communication globally. The preservation of these sorts of things could be maintained for future generations, and if they are preserved, many good things can come from it, like sustainable tourism, for example.Read Less

I would prefer that in-person culture be preserved over online culture, but both hold significance in the language of history. A database of some kind, or an organization using well-researched sources, could complete this goal, and their work could be used across generations as an effective historical source for future research.Read Less

To explain, while I agree that methods such as digital archiving can help to protect digital knowledge (including digital heritage and cultural expression), creating a global strategy is unlikely to work seamlessly between nations and regions. This because what is considered worth preserving can vary widely between societies. So, while I support the idea in principle, I think that it would be better for countries to create their own policies and approach this topic methodically and with respect for cultural diversity and digital sovereignty moving forward.Read Less
I don’t really think it is necessary to preserve online cultures. A global strategy might be a stretch in some cases, so a more national effort would be ideal.

Past experiences show that most so-called global frameworks lack enforcement power, neutrality and accountability. In theory, these agreements aim to promote cooperation, but in practice, they often create bureaucratic barriers thet prevent individual nations or institutions from taking timely and independent actions to protect their own digital assests.
When violations occurs, international bodies rarely possess binding authority or compulsory arbitration mechanisems. Instead of ensuring fairness, global frameworks sometimes protect rule-brakers by complicating response procedures and diluting responsibility, The WTO, for example, has repeatedly deominstrated ineffective responses and even implicit favortism in handiling cases of clear violations–most notably those involving China. If such situations cannot maintain fairness in economic governance, it will be difficult to imagine that a global digital presevation framework could function any better.
Furthermore, digital culture is inherently fragmented and pluralistic, reflecting different cultural backgrounds and so on. Imposing a single global protocol would risk erasing cultural individuality. Read Less
