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.

    TLDs, DNS, and much of the structure of how the internet operates was controlled and run by American agencies ICANN, IANA (US department of commerce until just recently). Their offices are still located in the US.

    The FBI and Homeland Security are known to seize domains - globally.

    With Gabbard as DNI, and Gaetz as AG, everything that is, to them, a threat, insult, disrespectful, embarrassing, untruth, ungodly, or in any way counters their agenda and rewriting of history, will be at risk.
