Trump administration’s data deletions set off ‘a mad scramble,’ researcher says
NEW YORK (AP) - Researchers are in what one described as "a mad scramble" to sort out what public data the Trump administration has deleted from government websites and electronic publications.
Late last week, federal agencies took down scores of government webpages as staffers hurried to comply with President Donald Trump's order rolling back protections for transgender people, which required the removal of "gender ideology" language from websites, contracts and emails.
Some of the sites were back online Monday, but data analysts say it’s not clear exactly what was removed or changed.
"You go looking for something and it’s just not there," said Amy O’Hara, a Georgetown University researcher who is president of the Association of Public Data Users.
