Thanks for signing up! 。
"On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change," Kahle wrote.

Donations, he said, would go toward infrastructure costs, including servers and paying the organization's staff, in addition to the move. 。
Kahle didn't elaborate on specifics about the move, but it sounds like the intention is to build a Canadian-based copy of all its archives, rather than moving its San Francisco headquarters. 。
