The rush to scrub or in some cases take down datasets raises the question: Is this the next step in the book ban movement? Or is there a greater opportunity arising before us?
This is an excellent illustration of the sledge hammer the administration (Musk) is taking to the Federal Government. Citizens and experts can disagree as to how best to "allocate scarce resources to achieve the public good" (definition of politics from a course I took long ago), but I'm doubtful if there is a single Harvard Business School case study where the preferred method of assessment and analysis is to burn it all down. Instead of a deliberate evaluation of the data and their cost/benefit and then making appropriate adjustments, let's just delete it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Thanks, Marty, for keeping us informed.

Isn't all this "destroyed" data still available at the state level?
