"Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday"

"Federal agencies moved to satisfy Trump’s orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”"

"More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis has found, as federal agencies rush to heed President Trump’s orders targeting diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes and scientific research, among many other topics. Doctors, researchers and other professionals often rely on such government data and advisories. Some government agencies appear to have removed entire sections of their websites, while others are missing only a handful of pages."

Ethan Singer reports for the New York Times February 2, 2025.
