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

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.

Among the pages that have been taken down:

Many of the missing pages appeared related to a Trump administration directive — with a deadline of 5 p.m. Friday — to terminate any programs that promote “gender ideology,” and to withdraw documents and any other media that may do so.

In many cases, the removed pages mentioned words like “inclusion” or “transgender.” It is not clear why other pages were removed; how many of the pages will be permanently removed; and how many may be restored with revisions.

And things are still in flux: Since Friday, several pages have gone down and then come back online; others stayed up well past 5 p.m. Friday and were removed only recently. Other government pages, while still accessible, have already been stripped of words related to diversity, gender and climate change, as reported by The Washington Post and others.
