More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found. The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u... - ThreadSky

You can help to archive government websites right now by donating bandwidth and compute: https://tracker.archiveteam.org/usgovernment/

It requires installing a virtual machine, then running an "appliance" made by the ArchiveTeam.

These archived pages are then given to the Internet Archive.
