Many federal websites, data sets go dark following Trump's 'gender ideology' ban

Americans looking for information on various federal websites were out of luck Friday, Jan. 31. Many government web pages went dark, including some with public health data and the website for the U.S. Census Bureau. It’s part of the response to a memo President Donald Trump signed Wednesday, Jan. 29, restricting government agencies from providing outward-facing media like websites and social media accounts that “promote gender ideology.”
