Thousands of datasets from Data.gov have disappeared since Trump's inauguration. What's going on?

^{Published on 2025-01-31 13:20:39 - MSN}

Since President Trump was sworn into office, almost three thousand datasets have disappeared from Data.gov, the U.S. government's repository of open data. According to 404 Media, online archivist communities discovered since Trump took office on Jan.

Since President Trump's inauguration, there has been a significant reduction in the number of datasets available on Data.gov, dropping from over 250,000 to about 200,000. This decline has raised concerns among researchers, journalists, and transparency advocates about the potential loss of crucial public data. The datasets that have disappeared include those related to climate change, education, and health, which are vital for policy analysis, research, and public accountability. The reasons for these removals are not entirely clear, but explanations range from routine maintenance and updates to more deliberate actions possibly aimed at reducing transparency or altering the narrative around certain issues. This situation has sparked a debate on the importance of maintaining open government data and the implications of its absence on public knowledge and decision-making.
