The recent purge of over 8,000 federal government web pages by the Trump administration has severely limited access to vital public health and census information. Many formerly available resources, including important health guidance and IRS information, have been removed, leaving individuals reliant on outdated versions stored in Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. The vague explanations provided for these deletions raise concerns about the administration's transparency and motivations, especially regarding the omission of terms associated with diversity and inclusion. This situation highlights the potential dangers of a revised government presence that aligns with specific political ideologies.
As pages have continued to vanish, others have returned, and the only explanation has come in the form of vague sitewide banners such as 'CDC's website is being modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders.'
