Summary

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is diverting engineers from regular work to scan government websites for terms like “transgender,” “gay,” and “inclusion.”

This effort, reportedly linked to Trump’s executive orders against diversity initiatives, aims to catalog and potentially remove such content.

Critics argue it contradicts claims of government efficiency and wastes taxpayer money. Similar efforts are happening in other agencies.

A court order has temporarily halted removals, mandating the restoration of certain webpages to their previous versions.
