An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Protect public data, prevent digital censorship and book burning

6 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

Attempts by the current administration to purge publicly available government data and scientific information from official websites are deeply concerning and undermine transparency. Public records serve a vital role in ensuring accountability and preserving historical knowledge for future generations. Deleting this data amounts to an unacceptable digital book burning that betrays the principles of an open democratic society. This information belongs to the people and must be protected. As a concerned citizen, I urge you to take immediate action to recover any deleted materials and implement robust policies to prevent such censorship from occurring again. Preserving public data upholds the freedom of information that is fundamental to our democracy.
