The State Department is removing all posts on its public accounts on the social media platform X made before President Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, 2025.
The posts will be internally archived but will no longer be on public view, the State Department confirmed to NPR. Staff members were told that anyone wanting to see older posts will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to a State Department employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. That would differ from how the U.S. government typically handles archiving the public online footprint of previous administrations.
Everything prior to 2018 is archived in the Library of Congress. It’s where all of my beer reviews are.
Linus uploads to FTP and lets the world mirror. I just let the LOC archive my stuff.
I’m sure those are being scrubbed.
They try to memory hole something in the LOC and every librarian in the country will show them how dangerous the deep state can be. Those “no weapons” signs at libraries will start disappearing into the periodical file.
There are “no weapons” signs at libraries?
Most libraries are government property. As a general rule if it’s a government building you can’t carry a weapon. Local, state or fed. My local library has an explicit no conceivable weapons sign at the entrance as per South Carolina state law…
In some states in the US yes.
