So... one thing that I think is going to happen in the next few years is that the #Trump Administration will go after the #InternetArchive . Since they are obviously highly interested in rewriting history to suit their agenda, the Wayback Machine is going to be seen as an obvious threat.
And taking them down is probably not going to be hard. Not only is the Internet Archive an US-based organization, but they are already in legal jeopardy due to their "National Emergency Library" and their hosting of a lot of copyrighted material which is easily legally available.
So... _do_ we have a backup plan for preserving the digital history of the Internet - one hosted in a jurisdiction that is safer (for now)? Or are we are just going to have to accept that this will be gone forever?
