A cynical observation that, on social media and internet platforms, the official record of events—who was banned, what content was removed, what narratives are preserved—is controlled not by users but by those with power to delete, edit, and conceal. Moderators and administrators can erase evidence of their own abuses, fabricate justifications for bans, and shape community memory to favor their clique. The phrase warns that appeals to “the record” or “what really happened” are futile when those who control the record are the same people who caused the harm.
“History on Social Media and on the Internet is written by Moderators and Administrators.” Example: “When she tried to appeal her ban with screenshots, the mods deleted the evidence threads and said ‘we have no record of any harassment.’ History on social media is written by moderators and administrators.”

The Greater Internet

1. An idea where an item on the Internet has reached a large viewing audience over a wide range.

2. If something on the Internet has been seen by many people from different locations it has reached The Greater Internet.

Viral videos, memes, and Tosh.0 fall under The Greater Internet.
Steve. "Have you seen Mike's wipeout on Tosh.0?"

Larry. "Yeah man, he's reached The Greater Internet!"

The General Internet Axiom

The General Internet Axiom: "It all leads back to porn in the end."
Example: "I thought I was reading this news blog, but all of a sudden I read something about a stripper that got arrested, and how she just put out a movie. I guess The General Internet Axiom is true."

The Dark Internet Rule

The rule of the internet where if you mention something seen on the "dark side of the internet" you must not speak of it. Those who do are ultimately shamed and often disowned.
You better follow the Dark Internet Rule, or else your sister and I will have no choice but to shame you endlessly.
