Not only do we need updated digital records laws, but we are also in desperate need of updated Federal privacy laws for citizens. The most recent one passed was in 1988 preventing employees at video rentals from disclosing anybody's rental history. It may seem unrelated, but I feel like the preservation of public information related to the Government and the protection of private information related to citizens are two sides of the same coin.
Great piece. I have been upset about this since they began scrubbing websites during the first week. This has no benefit for citizens and is purely nefarious. One would only do this for evil purposes. They have scrubbed veterans of color and female veterans from some honors now, as well. Thank you for an important article. 📢
All the government agencies personnel should have been one or two steps of the Krasnov mussolini fascist regime. They should have been saving every single data in a personal data base in case something like this would happen. At this point with this regime everyone needs to think of the worse and act upon it. I hope that someone out there in one of these agencies saved all their important files/ date.
In my opinion I think that the person who directed for these documents to be removed and destroyed should be prosecuted and charged. It should be illegal what they are doing. It's an abomination to say the least. 😡😤

You make a good point

Thank goodness for archivists working behind the scenes trying to save it all.
Well, that's good to hear! I did not know that. 👍👏👏👏
Okay datarescue.org is one of the agencies saving all they can. I hope they were able to save all of it.
