The perfect metaphor for the Trump presidency.

The internet's historical archive wants to build a back up site in Canada to protect itself from Donald Trump

' The Internet Archive, a San Francisco non-profit that maintains one of the world's largest library of cached web sites, said on Tuesday that it was planning to create a copy of its archives in Canada, out of the reach of the incoming US government.

"On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change. It was a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long-term, need to design for change," Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive wrote in a blog post published on Tuesday.

"For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions."

You might know the Internet Archive because of the Wayback Machine , or the most common way for people to find old copies of websites dating back as much as 20 years. The organization also maintains a massive collection of political TV ads and e-books.

Trump's views on free speech have raised worries among many people, and he has said he'd like to "open up" libel laws so he can punish journalists who write negative things about him.'
