@tim@phire.place @eaton@phire.place I'm having trouble seeing the parallel with scholarly papers. There are canonical sources (ScienceDirect, Crossref, publisher websites) and long-term preservation systems (LOCKSS, etc) that mostly do the job of preventing this. Are you talking about Academia.edu and Researchgate?

@williamgunn@mastodon.social @eaton@phire.place if you search for a given paper, you’re just as likely to find a low quality database that’s indexed the title or maybe the abstract as you are an actual source for the paper
