  Trump has exactly as much control over it now as he did before: none. It literally just means that all official government documents go to them for archiving. This is cool and neat and raises the profile of the Internet Archive, but other than that it doesn’t really mean anything. Trump can of course do some undemocratic shenanigans to them, but no more or less than he could before this designation.

      Again, it doesn’t matter for this news. The ease of undemocratic shenanigans toward the Internet Archive has not changed.
