The Federal Depository Library Program ( #FDLP) is calling for public comments on a draft new #preservation policy for US govt public information.

PS: This is especially important when the #Trump admin is taking down public info, including publicly-funded research, and private data-rescue projects struggle to capture it all.

…the Federal Judicial Center (#FJC) is removing the chapter on climate science from its "reference manual" advising federal judges on scientific issues. The removal was recommended by 27 #Republican attorneys general.

PS: The FJC manual is prepared with the National Academies of Science (#NAS). But I can't tell whether NAS acquiesced in this move. Does anyone know?
Thanks to RealClimate.org for posting the deleted 91-page chapter on climate science.

How can a mastodon user tell if their account is "hidden" or "limited" ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zjh6vq/hidden_profiles/
I see this a lot with accounts I want to follow.
1. Can admins do this without notifying the user?
2. Is it possible to see the reason accounts have been censored?
If the answers to any of these two questions is "no" then it seems mastodon is subject to abuse from biased/rogue admins and moderators.

First it's the trans folks, then it's all the other queers. And if anyone around here didn't see it coming, hie you to a library and learn something about history before they try to burn all of those down.

It's not just me. Meta's censorship is ramping up Don't be fooled by all the #fuckice content that DOES get through. They are still censoring - you'd see a LOT more if they were not. Because the people are rising up against the regime.
I know several people hit by the censorship and folks are searching alternatives.
Here is another testimonial about Facebook which I found on the new site communities dot social which is not federating but I suppose uses Activity Pub,

If a US administration figure is booed at the Olympics, or a World Cup match, will American domestic broadcasts simply mute or avoid mentioning the crowd audio? If so, what happens when the world feed, or a foreign broadcaster, shows something else entirely? What happens when 40,000 phones in the stadium upload their own version in real time?

"Federal Data Is Disappearing."
https://www.notus.org/trump-white-house/federal-data-is-disappearing
"Since retaking office, the Trump administration has transformed how the government collects data, cut access to previously-public data and stopped collecting some data altogether. This overhaul has left significant holes in data on everything from substance use to maternal mortality…Researchers estimate that well over 3,000 data sets have been removed from public access."
