HUMAN TRASH DUMP on archive.org (an imperfect solution due to some censorship issues*)
HUMAN TRASH DUMP is an open digital archive founded in 2015 that invites contributions of audio, text, image, and video files to be hosted and disseminated as material, tools, handbooks, puzzles, and keys. Participants stream, download, share, and remix archived fragments to expand collective intimacy. Data is stored in a dump not a cloud.

David Wojnarowicz discusses arts funding, specifically talking about control of information and the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) and right-wing attempts to take away funding from artist's who received funds because they did not like the content of the art. See: culture wars of the 1990s. See: Jesse Helms.
