The current US administration is removing content from various government websites, including those focused on foreign assistance, health data, and children's welfare. This follows President Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and a memo instructing federal agencies to remove content promoting gender ideology. Critics argue that this move undoes decades of progress in combating discrimination, while supporters applaud the administration's focus on traditional values.
The current US administration has begun a purge of existing US government websites, with resources including USAID.gov, ForeignAssistance.gov, HealthData.gov, GoodJobs.gov, and ChildrenInAdversity.gov.
Trump's targeting of government DEI initiatives has been popular among his supporters, while rights advocates say the administration is undoing decades of work in combating discrimination. This particular move follows various government websites disappearing since the new administration took power, examples being ReproductiveRights.
But it's too early to say anything definitive about what's truly being scrubbed for political reasons, with 404 paraphrasing archivists working on analysing the material as saying that"while some of the deletions are surely malicious information scrubbing, some are likely routine artifacts of an administration change, and they are working to determine which is which."Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
