The Internet Archive is building a Canadian copy to protect itself from Trump

The Verge:

The Internet Archive, a digital library nonprofit that preserves billions of webpages for the historical record, is building a backup archive in Canada after the election of Donald Trump. Today, it began collecting donations for the Internet Archive of Canada, intended to create a copy of the archive outside the United States.

To be clear, Canada isn’t a paragon of free speech virtue but, like your own backups, it’s always better to have more than one.
