You don't need to make any backups, the information is already shared worldwide. Should the Trump Administration choose to censor information, there are plenty of us outside the US who will be more than happy to provide it to you anyways.
At most you'll need a VPN that doesn't log IPs.
I dont think this is a wise stance. The internet actually forgets a lot, and unless things are explicitly and intentionally archived, stuff gets lost all the time.
Yeah. Can’t tell you the number of times recently I’ve tried to pull up a video from the past and couldn’t find it. Either removed or just impossible to search for.
I’ve got a YouTube playlist that gets downloaded to my server every week just in case
I agree, but I wasn't addressing the act of archiving itself, just the access that one may or may not have to it.
as far as i know the internet archive does not have backups, copies, etc outside of the US
Right now that is unfortunately unclear. They did create The Information Archive of Canada in 2016 as a direct response to Trump's previous Presidency, but they've provided no updates since.
Lol sounds like a corruption scheme
