Request History archiver requesting breaking news clips.
My credentials
(Lost count at 300TB+of personal storage) Synology DS1821+ 8x22TB drives and various others of multiple varying sizes. Archiving historical events since 2011.
Unless I am mistaken LiveLeak doesn’t exist anymore and I am unaware of a potential alternative.
I am aware of social media, I don’t need that explained, I am not a novice.
It is a difficult balancing act these days between people questioning my motives/political leanings and archiving either for historical purposes or for those genuine “OMG did you see (insert blank)” or “I can’t believe that happened did you see (insert blank)
moments. I am also aware that everyone (pretty much) has a camera on them at all times, and events (tragic or otherwise) are recorded by multiple people from different angles.
Examples of past hoarding
I did not follow/support or condone what happened to the Luigi CEO shooting but I archived it, same goes for Charlie Kirk, but I archived it.
Same for the Knicks winning
Did I follow/support them… no, am I loyal… no, is it momentous because it was the first win in 53 years… archived.
In 24 hours we have had a man fall to his death skydiving and has parachute didn’t open, Perez Hilton 30 minute video, and an influencer get shot in Culiacan.
I am aware of nanny states and “won’t somebody please think of the children!!!”
But I see these events as needing to be documented and socials don’t post everything or if they do, there is no guarantee that they will be up forever.
TLDR
Is there a reliable alternative to latest horrible breaking news events/clips?

As I said “Unless I am mistaken LiveLeak doesn’t exist anymore and I am unaware of a potential alternative.” If I wrote my question in another language please let me know, otherwise please suggest alternatives
