What should we expect will be censored or banned under Trump? Should archives of these things be put together to protect access? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pretty much the title sums it up. There's a lot to be concerned about, and one thing I find personally disconcerting is how US educational systems might be impacted.

Do we need to make backups of, like, everything educational and scientific? And where are all the places and forms that we can host these materials?

Edit: to everyone saying it shouldn't be an issue because Trump/US doesn't control information in the rest of the world, keep in mind that is little comfort to those of us here if access to that information becomes restricted as well. We should be seeking to hedge all bets.

Just think of all that orange guy is, and all that he isn't:

He is white, old, male, (somewhat) rich, right wing, educated, member of a majority, and a criminal.

Such people, places, things, and ideas are going to get benefits.

All colored, young, female (& div.), poor, left wing, uneducated, all kinds of minorities (!), and upright honest people, places, things, and ideas will be getting hard times.
