The wiki bio of Donald Trump is in the Outernet library

But not Barack Obama or Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or Jon Stewart or The Zeigeist Movement or Occupy, etc...

Outernet.is uses cubesats to feed the world information from space through its library. It was mostly launched to give people of still developing nations access to news and education they would otherwise not have due to poor infrastructure.

Does anyone else find it slightly alarming to see that the developing world is being fed information about Donald Trump but not the people and groups mentioned above? I do.

Anyone can contribute content to the Outernet library.

They have a page for submitting content suggestions. Maybe those of us who have nothing better to do could flash mob this shit?:

Jon Stewart? Irrelevant; the developing world doesn't need to know about a comedian whose metier is in snarking about US politics. It's about as relevant to anyone outside the US as trigonometry is to amoebae.
