Reminds me of A Canticle for Leibowitz.

There is nothing good that come from this. We are headed for disaster, especially if bird flu or something else starts spreading quickly enough.

It should be ok to post about that unless there's some discussion of disproportionate harm to bipoc or trans, or unless malicious compliance is the overweening priority

This is what fascism looks like.

why would the whole site be taken offline?

Why does nobody refuse to follow these orders? They’re being issued by someone who flagrantly doesn’t follow the rules.

https://www.census.gov/ is also offline.

Is it? Seems up to me.
[edit] Oh, I see, the actual 2020 census data is down: https://www.census.gov/2020results
Says for maintenance.

Lots of links seem down for "maintenance". Not just the 2020 census.

The main site was replaced with a mostly empty blank page earlier today.
The bizarre thing was that the page source at that time had almost nothing except some odd javascript to build a "508 Daily Report" table of Jira tickets or some nonsense.
That view appears to still be up here: https://www.census.gov/main/
I can't really blame someone for a bad deployment given the raging government dumpster fires at the moment.

Is the census data even available by other means nowadays? The census is a core constitutional requirement of the federal government.

Is this malicious compliance or is the data all really in violation of the EO?

I think it’s pretty reasonable that it might take more than 2 days to review all CDC datasets for whether they “inculcate or promote gender ideology”. If the administration wanted to avoid interruptions in access they should have provided a longer timeline.
