In the past three weeks, the new US presidential administration has removed thousands of government web pages. This includes sites from the USAID, childreninadversity.gov, the Census Bureau, the CDC, and the Office of Justice Programs. The removals are part of a broader effort to eliminate information on diversity, gender ideology, and scrutinize government practices. Organizations like the End of Term Web Archive and the Open Environmental Data Project (OEDP) are racing to archive this disappearing data. The EoT Archive, a nonpartisan effort, aims to preserve government data at the end of each presidential term. OEDP, focusing on climate science and environmental justice, has been backing up data since November, with efforts intensifying recently. The loss of this data could have long-term effects, as noted by experts who stress the importance of maintaining historical records for future research and decision-making.
