2016: The world's largest archive of the Internet flees the USA because of Trump

The American non-profit organization Internet Archive is going to create the copy of the archive in Canada because of Donald Trump victory at the election of the president of the USA. The owner of a resource Brewster Kahle noted in the blog that creation of spare archive will cost "millions" and asked the public to support the project^[1] financially^[2].

Internet Archive is a universal digital library which is engaged in collecting and storage of old versions of the different websites. According to Cale, in the near future observation of U.S. authorities of free sources of information will become more fixed therefore he does not wish that its resource was within reach of the government.

Now the Internet Archive servers are in San Francisco, and mirrors – in Alexandria (Egypt) and in Amsterdam (Netherlands). Creation of the copy in Canada should protect a resource if Trump will decide to toughen the law on censorship or the law on slander to pay back the American media for the impaired a little image, writes the Business Insider resource.

What Internet Archive is dangerous to Trump by

Internet Archive is most known thanks to the Wayback Machine service created in 2001 by Wayback Machine allows to see how this or that web resource at different times looked even if it is already deleted by the time of viewing. According to Cale, service weekly saves copies of 300 million web pages.

Usually Internet Archive deletes such materials upon the demand of owners or owners of a resource source. However in October, 2014 the resource did not listen to the requirement of Roskomnadzor to remove a video of extremist contents for what it was blocked on the territory of Russia.

Also Internet Archive locates big library of publications and videos of political nature of Political TV Ad Archive. According to Cale, these materials are used by the American journalists for "check of the facts relating to election pledges of candidates", including Donald Trump.
