Some Americans are packing up to escape the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency.  Among them is the Internet Archive, the world's biggest digital library and the online keeper of the record, which is fundraising to set up a backup outside of the USA.

"On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change," the organization wrote in a blog post explaining the move.  "It was a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long-term, need to design for change."

In other words, they don't trust Trump, who has made many disturbing statements suggesting a complete lack of concern or respect for the concept of Free Speech.  So, the archive will create a mirror duplicate of its independent, nonprofit site.  In their post, the Internet Archive justified its decision to backup its data in Canada, claiming that Trump could threaten an open internet.

"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 move will cost millions according to the Internet Archive, which is now actively soliciting donations to cover the project.
