this is being done by the internet archive. there's three problems with this story:
1) backing up the internet was what they were doing already
2) this is obviously bait for the salty liberals. why do i say that? because
3) canada isn't much better than the US in terms of censorship.
also the internet is loving big
Adding on to what you mentioned which may all be possibilities. I would say that the Internet Archive is using Annoying Orange's presidency and his position on certain internet related issues to promote their site and increase traffic. In my opinion, this is a brilliant marketing strategy and it is possible that their segment or target consumers are those who oppose a Annoying Orange presidency, or those who value the open nature of the internet.
Edit: To add on to that, they appear to be non profit organisation, so their main source of profit comes from consumer and third party donations. An increase in traffic on their site would increase the likelihood of people donating.
