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.

    Nothing. They hate government censorship. Schools are not that and you can always access anything outside school.

      Lol no. They adore government censorship. What they hate is people disagreeing with them. They call being criticised for their racism or being fact checked “censorship”, and by “free speech”, they mean freedom from criticism. They ban books gleefully.

      So yeah, they say they hate censorship loud and often, but that’s not what they mean.

        No, it’s not government censorship to avoid spending taxpayer dollars on books for school children containing questionable content. You can buy those books for your kids if you want and the government won’t stop you.
