Trump Quietly Scrubs Government Data

“Even amid Donald Trump’s failures – the Iran war, soaring prices and a sharp rebuke in the midterm elections last week – there’s still at least one area his administration continues to carry out adeptly: its mass public information censorship campaign,” The Guardian reports.

“In less than two years, the Trump administration has done staggering damage to U.S. data and information infrastructure. Hundreds of federal datasets have been terminated or altered, and thousands of government webpages that address diversity, equity and inclusion, the climate crisis and other issues have been quietly revised or completely wiped.”

“This under-the-radar censorship isn’t random – it’s been squarely aimed at any information that contradicts the administration’s ideology.”
