Miguel Afonso Caetano"Attorneys suing the United States government over its use of vanishing Signal messages to coordinate military strikes last month in Yemen allege that new court filings by the government reveal a “calculated strategy” by Trump administration officials to evade transparency laws through the illegal destruction of government records.US defense and intelligence agencies on Monday submitted supplemental declarations in court outlining their individual efforts to preserve the messages at the center of the “SignalGate” scandal. American Oversight, a watchdog organization whose attorneys are suing the government, claim the declarations reveal “troubling inconsistencies” in efforts by US officials to archive the material, with the Central Intelligence Agency in particular alleging that it had archived no messages of any substance.“Using encrypted, disappearing messages on Signal for official government business violates the Federal Records Act and represents a calculated strategy to undermine transparency and accountability,” claims the group’s interim executive director, Chioma Chukwu."<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/heres-what-happened-to-those-signalgate-messages/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/heres-what-happened-to-those-signalgate-messages/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Transparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transparency</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenGovernment</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The Trump administration has begun its purge at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by dismissing 10,000 employees, with agency Freedom of Information Act offices being among the casualties.This comes after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a FOIA requester himself, promised “radical transparency” at the agency.The entire FOIA office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was placed on administrative leave, and emails sent to CDC’s FOIA office received the response, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” Most FOIA staff at the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health were also let go.Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold noted that CDC’s FOIA website was briefly taken entirely offline, but was restored after public outcry.It’s important to note that even if CDC or other agency FOIA office websites are taken offline, requesters can visit FOIA.gov to find contact information for agencies and continue to submit requests. Agencies are still obligated to respond to requests even if their entire FOIA office has been sacked."<a href="https://freedom.press/the-classifieds/rfk-jr-promises-radical-transparency-then-closes-foia-shops/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://freedom.press/the-classifieds/rfk-jr-promises-radical-transparency-then-closes-foia-shops/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FOIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOIA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HHS</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenGovernment</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Disproportionately, the datasets that are no longer accessible through the portal come from the Department of Energy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of the Interior, NASA, and the Environmental Protection Agency. But determining what is actually gone and what has simply moved or is backed up elsewhere by the government is a manual task, and it's too early to say for sure what is gone and what may have been renamed or updated with a newer version. This is because data.gov doesn’t always host the data that it is indexing. Sometimes the data is hosted directly on data.gov, but other times it links to an individual agency’s website, where the data is actually hosted. This means archiving and analyzing data.gov is not straightforward.“Some of [the entries link to] actual data,” Cushman told 404 Media. “And some of them link to a landing page [where the data is hosted]. And the question is—when things are disappearing, is it the data it points to that is gone? Or is it just the index to it that’s gone?”"<a href="https://www.404media.co/archivists-work-to-identify-and-save-the-thousands-of-datasets-disappearing-from-data-gov/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co/archivists-work-to-identify-and-save-the-thousands-of-datasets-disappearing-from-data-gov/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalArchiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalArchiving</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataGov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataGov</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenData</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenGovernment</a>

Have we moved on since the early to mid 2010’s? What modern metrics do we have available to us today to see the progress? What does the advent of the new US administration mean for issues like this?

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Dear readers,Welcome to Secrecy Tracker, where we dig into what the EU would rather keep under wraps. My name is Alexander Fanta, and I am a journalist. Together with colleagues from three media organisations – Follow the Money, EUobserver and Investigate Europe – we are launching a new newsletter to expose the lack of transparency within the European Union. You’re receiving this newsletter once to highlight how the EU may be ignoring European citizens’ rights – by withholding access to documents, lacking transparency on who made decisions when and why, and letting legal deadlines pass unchecked.
