While many have threatened to move to Canada in the wake of the election, the Internet Archive is actually doing it. 。
The nonprofit, which runs the Wayback Machine and other online archives, announced Tuesday that it would be soliciting donations in order to create a copy of its collections in Canada. 。

Thanks for signing up!。
"On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change," Kahle wrote. Throughout history, libraries have fought against terrible violations of privacy — where people have been rounded up simply for what they read." Donations, he said, would go toward infrastructure costs, including servers and paying the organization's staff, in addition to the move. 。
Kahle didn't elaborate on specifics about the move, but it sounds like the intention is to build a Canadian-based copy of all its archives, rather than moving its San Francisco headquarters. 。
