Michael Kenis Launches Internet Monument to Preserve 1 Million Names Forever

1 articles · Updated · The National Law Review · Jun 11

The Internet Monument opened worldwide on June 11, offering participants a permanent slot in a digital archive capped at 1 million names.
Kenis said the project is meant to outlast disappearing websites, social accounts and platforms by locking each entry in place once submitted.
Each participant receives a monument number, a fixed location in a virtual universe and an optional time-capsule message of up to 30 characters.
The archive accepts a first name, country and optional city, and entries cannot be edited, removed or transferred after registration.
After the 1 millionth place is claimed, the monument will close permanently and remain online as a historical snapshot of the internet age.
