Internet Archive, after Trump win, looks to create alternate site in Canada

a) Having redundant copies of data in different locations and legal jurisdictions is a great thing. Didn't they have a fire at their office a few years ago that destroyed a bunch of equipment? But why Canada and not someplace in Europe or Asia, for example? Having it in a location that's so completely friendly with the US government like Canada might not be an advantage if you're concerned they'll go after you for political reasons. Hell, put it in the Philippines or something: if the US ever goes after them, they'll be tickled for an opportunity to embarrass the US.

b) If you're scared of guys like Trump having too much power to shut down the internet, don't let the government take it just because your guy happens to have the power. Generalizing a bit here, but the Right tolerated gross government expansion of all aspects of society when Bush was in charge and then got hysterical when Obama took over as they were concerned about him abusing it. Now the Left is freaking out about all of the power that Trump will have. When will both sides learn that no government should be left untrusted with unchecked power?

c) Has Trump threatened to go after sites like the internet archive in any special way? I don't think he has any significant relevance here. I think they're invoking Trump because a lot of people are overly hysterical about him right now and it probably makes it easier for them to raise money. If I was running any kind of charity right now, essentially saying "Trump is bad, give us money" would be a great message for a nice boost.
