The Motherboard website first noticed Nov. 29 that The Internet Archive, an organization that archives the internet to preserve it for public use, is now fundraising to create a full backup in Canada in order to protect the digital library from possible censorship. The now U.S.-based nonprofit organization has cataloged petabytes worth of web pages and say they archive 300 million new web pages each week. They operate The Wayback Machine, a website which anyone can use to find older versions of most web pages. "The history of libraries is one of loss,” they wrote in the announcement this week, saying the archive abroad wouldn’t be subject to potential new censorship laws. “[Donald Trump’s election] was a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long-term, need to design for change,” the Archive said in an online post. “For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions.” The Internet Archive also said they will need "millions" of dollars of donations to backup the archive. In just a few weeks as president-elect, Trump has already wondered aloud on Twitter whether he should jail and/or revoke the citizenship of Americans participating in free speech. “Somebody will say, ‘Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech,'” Trump said during the campaign. “These are foolish people.” He has also proposed changing libel laws. The Internet Archive currently hosts all sorts of controversial material that could be targeted if new censorship laws go into effect in America.
