If anyone is writing or maintaining a playbook/handbook for how to run an authoritarian regime, removing open data would be a play to add.

Those are really useful for industry…
- And students

Knee-jerk fix: we make a FOIA request for the data that was removed.
But the shame of it is that FOIA reqs are not gratis, which means we have to pay again for the data. Elon’s DOGE office would just see it as a success that they are getting extra compensation for the data.

Hey, we paid for that shit! Put it back!
