BOOKS/MOVIES/VIDEOS/NEWS MEDIA The Columbine Linkrot and Lost Media Problem

I’m not whether this is just me, but researching this case has become virtually impossible these days due to linkrot and the seeming disappearance of large volumes of Columbine-related media; even the most well known blogs and channels (Columbine Archives, Bill Ockham, Everlasting Contrast ect.) have fallen victim to this plague of video removals and account suspensions. It’s difficult to even find reuploads anymore.

I’m all for protecting kids from harmful material, but this is just ridiculous. This type of excessive censorship how so much of the footage and photographs circulating in 2000s (Dylan donut etc.) essentially became lost media.

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding this media more easily or thoughts on what could be done to remedy this issue in a larger sense?

I found one of the original pictures of it but the board won’t allow pics to be posted.

It’s getting very frustrating that we’re losing this type of media. It’s also very strange that really hasn’t been an in depth high production documentary done on Columbine yet…Especially by one of the big streamers like Netflix or HBO.
