My client moved its servers for an entire Western Hemisphere manufacturing organization to Sweden just a few months ago. Interesting.

Actually, speaking as a Canadian, I think it would be a good idea to store all data related to government funded research in Canada. I’m thinking in particular of all the NASA climate related data that could suddenly become “too expensive” or “too controversial” to maintain in Trump’s America. Perhaps all CIA/NSA secrets relating to Russia would also be safer if backed up in Canada.

May want to archive every well researched historical, social science, natural history and science book as well.
Microsoft expanded their cloud server base into Canada earlier this year. Prescient?

These are not the actions of wild eyed radicals. It’s prudent people working to keep knowledge free and available.
Good luck and take care.

It’s good to see someone thinking about the Net.
My first question after the networks called the Election was what this cavalcade of nitwits and morons was going to do to the Net.
You know, the thing that makes all of “This” and a pseudo-free flow of information possible?
But the media is spinning around, chasing its tail over every whispered name and trying to one-up each other over how deeply America has fallen into institutional idiocy.
The thing which ought to give people the deepest pause, and the most serious thought is what the Net will look like in just two years time. That and what a grand mess there will be, and how to put it all right again,like so many other things. Thankfully, the Net is not exclusively American property. Although, many American corporations will try to change that too. And that is among the first things that Americans should fortify against.

Two of the things I thought of first the night of November 8th were how long would it take for this administration to start creating their enemies list out of CIA/FBI/NSA/DHS data they’re going to paw through, and what is going to happen to the Net.
(not to dismiss or say that issues like derailing ACA or privatizing Medicare are not important also, but there’s all kinds of ripples on the pond from this big rock the white supremacy leaning portion of the electorate that voted in this turdblossom dropped in the water)
(Not So) Fun Fact: the most popular word search in 2016 so far according to Merriam-Webster? The word “Fascism”. Let that marinate a while…
