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.
Google, facebook and reddit have gutted the internet but OP just woke up about these risks because organge man got elected 🤡
A for vibes, D for analysis
Corpos are your primary enemies here… I am sure Trump will enable them, but this is not a partisan issue just pedestrian “American capitalism”
Most educational material within us is owned by publishing companies who fleece the states on text books for school, and student loans for high ed.
Scientic papers are hosted by a few private companies who own the copyright to peer reviewed articles. Look Aaron Schwarz, that will provide you some context on who you are dealing with here.
IE this is not public info and if you try to do what you are suggesting, 1. Not possible 2. It’s a fucking crime 🤡
I ain’t a bootlicker, more power to you though!
